Abstract
Communication is at the core of the human experience, even though effective communication takes a lifetime to learn. This program explores how we develop the arts of speech and physical expression to make ourselves understood and to understand others. Visiting a group of 25 three-year-olds, the film observes them learning as many as ten new words a day—some already grasping the first 1,500 components of the 20,000-word vocabulary collected in the average life span. The “nonverbal leakage” or body language that supplements verbal skills is also explored, demonstrating that children with verbal disadvantages can compensate through other techniques. A BBC/Open University Co-production. Original broadcast title: Read My Lips. Part of the series Child of Our Time 2004.
