When I select "view" and "read", it begins reading the second column of a page.  How can I get it to start reading at the beginning of the page?

Can we assume you're using Acrobat Reader's  TTS tool?

Read Out Loud is a Text-to-Speech (TTS) tool that is built in Acrobat Reader DC. The Read Out Loud feature reads aloud the text in a PDF, including the text in comments and alternate text descriptions for images and fillable fields. In tagged PDFs, content is read in the order in which it appears in the document’s logical structure tree. In untagged documents, the reading order is inferred, unless a reading order has been specified in the Reading preferences.
