I don't think that it is really a problem because screen reading software can be used to read one letter at a time. For NVDA, JAWS and if I remember correctly WindowEyes the left and right arrow keys read one letter at a time.

Subject: [WebAIM] how to get screen reader to announce single letters as Cee for C?
I've reworked our hangman game for AT use, and it works great, but IE reads the letters as they sounds, not by name. Any tips for this? I know that I can change the game to put commas after the letter when it's read in an aria-live region, but there's got to be a better way. Is there?
Thanks,
Mike
