From some further investigation it appears that the selected text is being read after the page text. This would suggest that the speech synthesis queue isn't being cleared and the selected text is just being appended.
Steps to reproduce:
Open the Orator demo
In the first paragraph select text starting from "Considering inclusion in all" until the end of the paragraph.
Trigger the page reading to start
Stop the page reading once the it gets to about the word "diversity" in the first sentence of the first paragraph.
Start the selection reading by clicking the "Play" button in the popup
