READ OUT LOUD. Choose which marked text you prefer to practice with - macrons or accent marks - and read the text out loud until you feel comfortable and confident. Then, try reading the unmarked text at the bottom. It should be easy for you after practicing with the marked texts. :-)
MACRONS. Here is the text with macrons:
Leo errāns spīnam calcāvit, et īlico ad Pastōrem caudā blandiēns vēnit, cui ait: Nōn perturbēris, auxilium ā tē implōrō: nōn indigeō escā. Subātum Hominis posuit in gremiō pedem. Pastor spīnam exēmit pede. Redit in silvās Leo. Post autem Pastor falsō incūsātur crīmine, et lūdīs proximīs ēmissīs bestiīs proiicitur. Passim dum discurrunt ferae, agnōvit Leo, quī fuerat medicātus, quī prīdem fuerat. Sublātum rursus Pastōris pōnit in gremiō pedem. Hoc Rex ut cognōvit, Leōnī iussit parcī et mānsuētum Pastōrem dimittī parentibus. Quia bene gerentī nunquam potuērunt adversāriōrum praevalere supplicia.
ACCENT MARKS. Here is the text with ecclesiastical accents, plus some color-coding for the words of three or more syllables (blue: penultimate stress; red: antepenultimate stress):
Leo errans spinam calcávit, et ílico ad Pastórem cauda blándiens venit, cui ait: Non perturbéris, auxílium a te implóro: non indígeo esca. Sublátum Hóminis pósuit in grémio pedem. Pastor spinam exémit pede. Redit in silvas Leo. Post autem Pastor falso incusátur crímine, et ludis próximis emíssis béstiis proiícitur. Passim dum discúrrunt ferae, agnóvit Leo, qui fúerat medicátus, qui pridem fúerat. Sublátum rursus Pastóris ponit in grémio pedem. Hoc Rex ut cognóvit, Leóni iussit parci et mansuétum Pastórem dimítti paréntibus. Quia bene gerénti nunquam potuérunt adversariórum praevalére supplícia.
