Stuttering isn’t Bad Hello!! My name is Jayden. I’m in third
grade at Howard Elementary. I love to ride my bike and I’m 9 years old. I was born
December 30, 2007. I use easy speech so my speech is better. When I stutter it feels like I’m in a car crash and makes me feel like I can’t control my speech. I sometimes feel different and I’m proud because of that! So you can feel proud too! I stuttered since Kindergarten. I stutter mostly at the beginning of a word or sentence.
Sometimes I stutter because I’m excited or happy. You should use easy speech because it helps speech get better. Stuttering isn’t so bad. At least I don’t care if I stutter.
Stuttering Can Block Your Rhythm
I define stuttering as distorted speech characterized by blocks or spasms that interrupt the rhythm. I started stuttering when I was in 3rd grade. Stuttering is when a person tries to talk with rhythm but it gets blocked. People around the world stutter, even famous people, like Marilyn Monroe and Joseph Biden.
Sometimes when I try to talk, stuttering
comes in and blocks what I’m trying to say. It really bothers me when kids make fun of me. I have started to speak really slowly and more fluently; it makes me feel very proud. Stuttering can make a lot of kids upset and angry, but when you talk you should always think about what you’re going to say first and remember to speak slowly.
If you come to speech, your stuttering will not bother you as much as it did before. I come to speech two times every week to talk more fluently, to learn how to take a deep breath, to slide words out, and to describe things. I am happy that I have learned how to speak more fluently.
