Abstract

Statistical methods of describing prosody were used to study fluency, expressiveness, and their relationship among 8-10-year-old readers. Children were rated on fluency and expressiveness. The two were partially independent in the full sample. A balanced subsample was selected for closer instrumental and statistical analysis. (Author/VWL)
