Dear Kevin, There is no such equivalent to Jaws ctrl+n with Voiceover. I'm afraid that this is how one reads articles, i.e. by paragraphs. With time, you learn various techniques to speed things up. For instance, I use the vo+command+h command - sometimes repeattedly - to get to the headings and thus skip some of the content I don't want to hear. This will allow me at least to get to the beginning paragraph of the article. I also use item chooser menu a lot activated with vo+i combination if I know some of the text I am looking for on the page to get to it quickly. When you activate the item chooser menu, start typing whatever text you wish (heading for instance, and you will get a matchng selection through which yu can arrow and hit enter on the one you want to explore. This will position you on the web page where the string is and you can start exploring from there.
Hope this will help. Others may suggest some better solutions.
