 Dear Core Team,

 I just noticed, that the default read more link for the excerpt of a post
 is not accessable for screen readers. By reading a site with a screen
 reader you can say - read all the links. At the moment the screen reader
 only say "...", "...", "...". The most themes has "read more" instead of
 "...", but the user still does not know, what is behind that link.

 The twenty themes added a screen reader class, but the most themes don´t
 have it.
 We could add this as required for themes, but this has only an effect for
 the themes in the directory, not other premium themes.

 I hope there is a solution, to make every "Read More" link accessible
 directly in the core (maybe via aria???)

 Thank you so much!
