Announce everything in a UIWebView using VoiceOver?

My app is primarily loading text-based HTML files into a UIWebView. When a new HTML file is loaded, I'd like it to be read in its entirety to VoiceOver users. Right now, it reads only the headings within <h1> tags, and then stops.

It works great if I double finger swipe down. I'd really just like to automate that process upon each new page load. Right now I'm using the following within webViewDidFinishLoad:

UIAccessibilityPostNotification(UIAccessibilityScreenChangedNotification, self.theText)
UIAccessibilityPostNotification(UIAccessibilityAnnouncementNotification, self.theText)

Don't do this! Let the user control their own interaction with the page. Trying to do this would be akin to forcing a sighted user to read every single sentence before showing them the next sentence and not allowing them to skim the page (for example the headings) and choose what to read.
