Jackie, The 2 finger flick down is supposed to read from where you are on the screen, so if you initiate that gesture from the beginning of the text, it does what you want in my experience, and you should be able to skip the icons.

I just wish we had the one voice in the app rather than whatever default voice you use, plus the reading voice for the app itself. That is my only grumble though, the rest of it is very good. I was using it very extensively yesterday and just got a bit irritated with two voices.
