I HOPE IN MY LIFE I WILL STOP STUTTERING grade. I live
Hi, my name is Jasmine. I am 10 years old and in 5th in Sioux City, Iowa.
I started stuttering when I began to talk. I learned new strategies to help my speech be smooth. Some of my strategies are to use slow talk. Another strategy is to stop and try again so when I stop, then I think about what I will be saying next. Another strategy that helps me is when I think I am going to stutter I slide my finger on my knee or on the table. This helps my speech become smooth. This also helps my sentences come out for smooth speech.
Some of my friends are used to me stuttering and they get it. So, I am happy to have family and friends like them. I hope in my life I will stop stuttering, but I know it will take a while. So that is my story!

Hi! My name is Aslam and I am 11 years old. I like to play video games such as Minecraft and Clash of Clans. I am in 5th grade, and this year it’s my time to shine! Sometimes I stutter. My friends don’t bully me though or make fun of me. I use smooth speech strategies I learned from my speech teacher, Mrs. McM. My favorite ones are easy onset and light contact.
If someone you don’t know makes fun of you or even tries to bully you, don’t let it bother you. Tell yourself they don’t matter! Then tell an adult to help you out if you need someone to talk to. Don’t think bad thoughts only think good ones.

I would like to tell other kids who stutter not to worry, and don’t be afraid of anyone. If kids make fun of you tell them “stuttering is not a big deal.” Feel proud of yourself, keep doing what you’re doing, let nothing stop you from what you’re doing. You can shine as well!
