# Define proper table headers
Properly defined headers allow screen readers to announce the context for each data cell, making complex tables understandable.
## Quick Reference
- Use `<th>` for all table headers, not `<td>`
- Apply `scope="col"` or `scope="row"` to clarify header relationship
- Ensure every data cell is associated with at least one header
- In simple tables, prefer fixing header associations before escalating to caption-level recommendations
- Missing `scope="col"` on a straightforward header row is often the clearest first fix
