An easier way is to use a skin suited to screen reading. Classic, Nostalgia or (especially) the printing CSS would be much better suited to screen reading than Monobook, whose purpose is, after all, to look slick and pretty.
This is mostly untrue, while Monobook does look nice, it has the side-effect of gracefully degrading. Several times I have used Monobook in text-based browsers (which, while I know is not a screen reader, gives a good impression of how the page would "render" in a screen reader) it works very well with the content laid out in a suitable way. Many of the older skins are definitely not very accessible as they were developed before accessibility became a hot topic and some even use tables. The print stylesheet is also mostly useless since screen readers generally do not use CSS and the printable version is simply a version of the page with navigation, tabs etc. (which appear at the bottom of the page in screen readers anyway) hidden (they are still within the HTML, just invisible to the user).
