Block-based programming environments are a popular way to learn programming. Many of these libraries, including Scratch and MIT's App Inventor, are built on the Blockly library from Google. Unfortunately, programs built with the Blockly library are currently not accessible for people with visual impairments. We describe two designs to make the Blockly library accessible using a screen reader on a touchscreen device.
