WSU Newsline -- Teachers, parents talk too fast for young children
Here's the Wichita State University Newsline tentative schedule:
9 a.m. Thursday, July 31, until further notice
This topic features six sound bites and one voice wrap.
Many young children may find it hard to understand what teachers are saying because most teachers talk too fast, according to Ray Hull, an audiologist at Wichita State University. He says many teachers speak at a rate of about 160 words per minute, but elementary students can only process speech up to 124 words per minute.
