Art and speech are my two favorite things. They both help me grow and if I make mistakes, I can learn from them. I dream that one day I’ll be living in a beautiful home with a bridge and water lilies. The stars will be gleaming and each one will represent a family member, my friends, my animals, and my teachers with the knowledge they helped me learn. And then I’ll live happy.


The world is big and people are small but we can make a big difference.

Hi, my name is Rylee. I’m 11 years old and in the 6th grade in Prairie Farm, Wisconsin. I like to do sports such as dance, volleyball, and softball. I first stuttered in the 1st grade and was afraid to talk to people. My stuttering became worse. It got better by 5th grade. My stuttering got better because I have a very good speech teacher that taught me strategies to help with my stuttering. Strategies that I use are easy starts, talking slower and deep breathing. I also sing which helps to keep my voice going. I find that I don’t stutter when I’m singing. If you stutter, just think about taking your time and use the strategies that you have been taught. Don’t be afraid of speaking in front of your class, teachers, friends, or parents. Just be yourself!
