@inherentlee not a screen reader user but I design for screen readers. Screen reader users should get more consideration than what I say.
Anchor links usually go to a header (like all the h2), which, if correctly set up, should already show up as usable navigable choices in the screen reader.
I highly recommend (and I recommend this to all ui designers and frontend devs) to get a common screen reader and learn to use it (without looking, ideally, turn the monitor off), it's VERY educational.

@silhelm I do test with NVDA but there is no substitute for actually asking users. The anchor links are not primarily there for screen reader nav, as I understand that headings are navigable already. They are mostly there for the purpose of linking to specific sections of document if I or someone else wants to share something, without requiring the person in question to either dig into HTML or guess at the id element.
