Others Do Stutter, Even If You Haven’t Met Them


Hi, my name is Ryder. I am going to be nine years old soon. I have a dog named Margaret, and I have a sister named Ava. I have a lizard named Izzy. I have a speech teacher named Mrs. M., and she helps me with my stuttering. I gave a presentation to my whole class about stuttering. Some people bully me. I have never met another person who stutters.

When Words Fail Baseball Speaks For Me


I AM GOOD AT HELPING OTHERS


My name is Jason. I am 7 years old and in first grade. I am good at video games,


Legos, and helping others. I like to eat, play at the park, and dance. When I get stuck, I take a deep breath and say it again. It feels sad when I stutter. I feel happy when I get an A on my math test.

My name is Colton, and I am seven years old. I am in the 1st


grade at


Justin Elementary School. I started stuttering when I was 2 years old, and I have been in Speech Therapy since I was 4 years old. At first I was scared, but I discovered that stuttering is okay. It’s not as big of a deal as you think. My favorite strategies to use are slide outs and easy starts. I started playing baseball when I was 4 years old. I play first base and short stop. I really like to run and earn lots of medals (All Stars). Baseball is a big part of my life because when words fail baseball speaks for me.
