Hi Mary, I've been wrestling with this same issue on my iPod Touch over the last 24 hours, and may have some answers for you. These tips are all VO-based.
Method 1: Double-Tap and hold on the app you want to move. Keep your finger there till you hear the iPad say "Moving X" where X is the name of your app. Then drag your finger slowly to the edge of the screen, as though you want to pull the app off the screen. To go forward a page, pull the app to the right, to go backward, pull it to the left. You should hear VO chirp, which is your indication that you've moved the app to another page. Then press the home key to get back to the normal screen. Now, I've found that this works wonderfully for moving around the same page, but often not so well for moving from page to page. So here are methods 2 and 3, method 3 compliments of Apple Accessibility. Method 2: Clear out one position in the dock. Then move the app to the dock, scroll to the page where you want the app, and then move the app out of the dock onto the new page. Sounds convoluted, but so far it has proven to be the easiest and fastest method Method 3: Quoted from a message from Apple Accessibility: "One thing to keep in mind is that to change pages, it does require that the app go off screen to the left or right. If you find that you have your finger to the far edge of the display and do not hear VoiceOver indicate you have changed pages.: Lift your finger to drop the app at the current position, you would want to make sure that you are not on a folder, then single finger double tap and hold on the opposite side of the screen. You should hear VoiceOver say “Moving Photos” and then drag your finger to the opposite side of the screen. This should pick up the app again and move it far enough off screen that you will change pages. When you are finished remember to press the Home button to exit edit mode." I hope one of these is helpful to you.
