Stuttering Doesn’t Make You a Bad Person


I Wish It Would Settle Down Soon


Stuttering is like a little tissue I can put in my pocket. Sometimes I stutter but I get embarrassed! I stutter a little, not a lot. My favorite strategy is Pausing. I’m in third grade and I can’t believe I still stutter! I am not sure when it will settle down, but I wish in 5th


grade. My


favorite stuttering book is Paperboy by Vince Vawter! Kallie, 8, from Murfreesboro, TN


Hi! I am Isaiah. I am 9 ½ years old and in 4th


grade. I like art, reading, card


games, and math. I started stuttering when I was in kindergarten. Strategies that I use are easy onset, light contact, and full breath. When I stutter it feels like my throat is shut and I can’t get my words out. I know that I have the power to say what I want to say. Just because people stutter doesn’t mean they are a bad person.

Starting Over Again Gets It Right Hi, my name is Monti and I’m in 7th


grade. I go to


Sennett Middle School in Madison, Wisconsin. I have a problem of stuttering. People talk about my stuttering but it doesn’t bother me. I already learned strategies like take your time, and, I stretch the word out. Also, talk slowly. Every time I get stuck on a sentence I start it back over to get it right. I like to play basketball. I play for a team, and I’m a big fan of the Cleveland Cavaliers. I think LeBron James is the best basketball player of all time!
