| Summary: | Thesis (Ed.D.)--Boston University. === The problem of this study was to provide from objective pitch
measurements an answer to the question: What does a child do with his
vocal pitch in certain speaking and oral reading activities?
The purposes of the study were:

pitch levels used by children in speaking, in easy and difficult
reading, and in unaided recall of easy and difficult
reading.
