My name is Tay and I am almost 7 years old. I live in Madison, Wisconsin and am in the first grade. I go to a bilingual school. Bilingual means that I speak and learn in two languages, English and Español (Spanish). I like to play soccer and hockey. One strategy that I find helpful when I’m stuttering is chunking. Chunking is when you talk, take a deep breath, and then keep talking. I want to know more about how different people stutter.


Something you should know about me is that I like to make people laugh by telling jokes. Here’s one: What do you call friends on a boat? A FRIENDSHIP!

Hi. My name is Aberle. I am in 3rd grade, and I stutter. I use different strategies. But one of my favorites is slow rate! I like it because it makes my speech smoother. Sometimes I even forget I am using it! I go to speech on Tuesdays and Thursdays.


My friends always ask, ‘Who’s that pulling you out of class?” I just say it’s my speech teacher. I have been taking speech for 3 years. I block my words like C-A-T, or sometimes I hold out words like aaaapple. I practice doing slow, like a turtle. I stop at periods. When I talk they make me slow down and stop and slow down and stop! Stuttering is not bad, it is just a part of you!

Hello, my name is Aiden. I am 10 years old and I am in 5th grade. I like to play Fortnite with my brother and cousins. I go to speech to learn how to stutter less. I stutter more when someone interrupts me or when I forget a word. When I get stuck, I stop and think about what I was going to say then I try to say it again. Remember, it’s okay to stutter.
