Comment (by joedolson):

 No, there's no advantage to wrapping the title in quotation punctuation in
 the screen reader text. Some screen readers might read them out or
 interpret them as a pause, but that's heavily dependent on screen reader
 configuration and voice synthesizer. I wouldn't consider it an advantage
 in any case; just a difference. If a pause is desired, then more
 consistent approach would be to use a colon, e.g.:


 {{{
 the_content(
         sprintf(
         /* translators: %s: Post title. Only visible to screen readers. */
         __( 'Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text">:
 %s</span>', 'twentyseventeen' ),
         get_the_title()
         )
 );
 }}}
