IA Writer maybe?  My kids use that for schoolwork. 

If you want it to read line by line, you probably need to change the rotor to line.

We use it for other things, but our specific and urgent need is to list his guitar lesson notes, which include the description of a chord.  We starting using the basic Notes app on the ipad and you cannot ‘pause’ the read-back.  He needs to read line by line and have the voice read back controlled by the arrow keys, if that makes sense.  I downloaded Notes Master (recommended by Braille Institute) but it is doing the same thing that Notes does during the read back.
