    This document discusses the speech acoustics that a child can hear at different frequency ranges. It explains that between 250-500Hz a child can hear parts of some vowels and nasal sounds. Between 500-1000Hz, more vowels and consonants like 'b', 'd', and 'm' become audible. Nearly all vowels and additional consonants are heard from 1000-2000Hz. 2000-3000Hz allows identification of more vowels and consonants like 'p', 't', 'k', 'sh', and 'ch' but not 's' or 'f'. At 4000Hz, sounds like 's', voiceless 'th' and 'f' can be distinguished, which is important for hearing grammar elements
