Words Try to Come Out All at Once
My name is Sebastian. I go to MAS. I’m in 3rd grade. I started stuttering at 5 years old. When I was 6 years old, it got worse. So now I go to a Speech Therapist. I am getting better at controlling it. And now I barely stutter and I have this awesome speech teacher. She helps me when I’m down. Sometimes it feels like a mouth full of words trying to come out at once. I go to speech class because I want to improve my speech. I learned a lot, like prolongation, which is when you stutter and draw the sound out long. My favorite strategy is cancellation because I like to catch myself. Cancellation is when you stutter, but then go back again and fix my saying it easy with a soft beginning. So if somebody makes fun of you, tell the teacher or just don’t let them get you down.

School is Fun
My name is Cooper and I’m in 2nd grade. I like wrestling. Sometimes I stutter because I talk too fast. To help me speak smoothly, I would pause aſter a few words. This helps me not to stutter. This is what I would say to someone who stutters, “Say what you want to say even if you stutter. You are great.” Going to speech helps me not to stutter.
