Separate spreads with a line containing only --- (or leave blank lines between them if you don’t use dividers). Anything in [square brackets] is treated as an art note: it shows on the illustration side and isn’t counted or read.
Record a read-through and it will show up here with the page turns marked, so you can hear how each spread lands.
Pace is words per minute while that spread was open. Picture books read aloud tend to sit around 120–160 wpm; the flags compare each spread to your own median for this take. “Turn pause” is the silence around the moment you turned the page.
