# UIAccessibilityReadingContent

Methods to implement for an object that represents content that users read, such as a book or an article.

```
protocol UIAccessibilityReadingContent
```

## Overview

To give VoiceOver users a superior, continuous reading experience, you can implement this protocol on an element that represents readable content, characterize it with the [`causesPageTurn`](/documentation/UIKit/UIAccessibilityTraits/causesPageTurn) trait, and use the [`UIAccessibilityScrollDirection.next`](/documentation/UIKit/UIAccessibilityScrollDirection/next) and [`UIAccessibilityScrollDirection.previous`](/documentation/UIKit/UIAccessibilityScrollDirection/previous) constants to enable page turning.
