| Popis: | Purpose This study provides preliminary reference data for speech and articulatory rates of school-age children in conversational and narrative speaking contexts. Method Participants included 36 typically developing children in 3 groups of 12 participants at ages 7, 9, and 11 years. Conversational and narrative speech rates were measured in words per minute, syllables per minute, and syllables per second. Results Speaking rates increased with age between ages 7 and 9, but rates were similar between ages 9 and 11. Between contexts, only the words per minute measure was significantly higher (faster) in narrative than in conversation. Implications These results are important to the assessment, treatment, and management of children with communication disorders in clinical or school settings. |
