The leading term approach to rates of convergence is employed to derive non-uniform and global descriptions of the rate of convergence in the central limit theorem. Both upper and lower bounds are obtained, being of the same order of magnitude, modulo terms of order n-r. We are able to derive general results by considering only those expansions with an odd number of terms.
