accessible tables

Hello,

I am sure this is covered somewhere, but I just can not find where.

Tabular data, 9 pairs of key = value data. But the table cell contents 
are short, so instead of just two columns I want to do four columns 
where the third is a continuation of the first and the fourth is a 
continuation of the third, e.g.

[ caption of the table]
[ key ] [ value ] [ key ] [ value ]
001     first     006     sixth
002     second    007     seventh
003     third     008     eighth
004     fourth    009     tenth
005     fifth


Is there a way to mark that up so screen readers will read them as pairs 
in the order 001 to 009 in order?

I can't be the first to have needed this.
