If you press CTRL + a to select the text in the edit box then NVDA is able to read it, otherwise navigating through the text by character or word does not work.

This issue is more generic and applies to more than one website. It might, actually, apply to one widely used editor but I don't know if that's the case. codewars is a good example of this, as far as I remember, it worked similarly on hacker rank. You can select all, copy, paste into another editor, edit, select all, copy and paste back, but that's pretty inefficient.

Hi, I remember this being the case with the code editor of Hour of Code as well. Seems liek this issue is quite generic. Thanks.

This is due to accessibility problems in the code editor being used. These code editors choose to draw their content in a non-standard way, rather than using HTML contentEditable (which is the standard way to do editable content). Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do to support this; the issue needs to be fixed in the editor.
