My name is Richard, and I am nine years old. I am in the fourth grade. I like to play Fortnite and Roblox. I am on the student council at my school and my dream is to become the world’s best go-kart driver. I am starting to understand stuttering better at my school. I have been going to speech therapy since kindergarten. Taking a deep breath and breathing out while I hold a Haberman Sphere helps my speech to be smoother. I don’t get frustrated when I stutter. Someday I would like to be a gamer. Whoever is a stutterer should not feel bad, because what you say is worth


repeating and repeating your words helps you have smooth speech. I got laughed at in my other school, but I don’t get laughed at in my new school.

Hi, my name is Preston. I am 8 years old. I am in second grade. I like to play basketball, go fishing, and play my video games. I live with my dad, my morn, and my cool little brother. When I grow up, I want to be a manager just like my dad. Stuttering makes me cool. I use my stuttering toolbox like pullouts, stretchy speech, light contacts, pausing, easy beginning, and turtle talk. These tools help me when I get stuck on words. My advice is if you stutter, think of something that makes you happy. I want people to know just because you stutter doesn’t mean you don’t know the words.

Hello, my name is Bryar. I am 10 years old and in the third grade. Some of my favorite things to do are play sports and play video games. My favorite sports to play are wrestling and soccer. Recently,


I scored a goal for the first time this


season. I like to take a deep breath and say it again if I stutter. My stutter does not upset me, because it is okay to have one.
