As I read, I will pay attention to pauses and intonation.
Soledad would roll out of bed each and every morning,
10 even before the rooster started crowing. She would grab her
20 backpack. Then she’d give her grandfather Sebastián a goodbye
29 kiss and set off on a one-hour march down a dusty road.
41 Soledad took the same road to school each day. She always
52 found something new along the way. Sometimes it was the way
63 the sun sparkled on some bright green leaves. Another time it
74 might be a bird singing a song.
81 Some days the walk to school seemed to take forever. The
92 hot sun would beat down on Soledad and the dusty road. So
104 she would stop to rest under a ceiba (SAY-bah) tree. She loved
116 observing everything around her. A short distance away, Soledad
125 might spot a pair of mischievous lizards chasing each other in
136 circles at the edge of the dirt road. 144
