Abstract

This study investigates what differences can be detected in the characteristics of the hearing-based and vision-based utterances of pupils in grades 3, 5, and 7. It focuses on the temporal characteristics in the sentence repetition and same sentence reading of 30 children and it analyses the disfluencies and errors that occur in the sentences. The results show that sentence repetition and reading aloud become faster and more accurate with age but children do not provide perfect performance. Based on the analysis of speech rate and the frequencies of disfluencies, it seems that even in grade 5 decoding processes are slower and less certain in reading aloud than in speech processing. At the same time, as memory plays a larger role in the decoding of hearing-based utterances than in reading aloud, children make more mistakes in repetition. These results contribute to the better understanding of the relation between speech perception and reading in higher grades at school.
