Originally posted by **justintadlock** December 13, 2023 Currently, the best way to mark a Heading, Paragraph, or other block to only be shown to screen readers is to add the `.screen-reader-text` class via the **Advanced** tab. What if there was a more user-friendly way? Maybe a simple toggle switch in the block settings? Building off the [Beyond Block Styles](https://developer.wordpress.org/news/tag/beyond-block-styles/) tutorial series, I'd like to explore how we can add something a little simpler that could have a potentially big impact for folks who need the ability to mark text for screen readers only.
