My name is Leo and I’m 8 ½ years old, and I’m in the 3rd grade. I live in Dodgeville, Wisconsin. I like Komatsu. I’ve been on their website before and seen their headquarters on Google


Maps. Komatsu makes forestry, mining, underground hullers, above ground


hullers, and the world’s biggest mining loader. I like the strategy of armadillo speech, which is a strategy of slow


speech. Slow speech is helpful because you don’t have to stop your speech like most strategies have you do.

Hi, my name is Aimee, I’m from Ohio, and I’m ten years old. I have a little sister named Zoe and a dog named Bella. I like animals, reading, and winter. I’ve been stuttering since about second grade, and I’m going to speech therapy to help me with my stuttering. Sometimes, it can feel like you talk weird because of


your stuttering, but stuttering is very common, and it doesn’t make you different from other kids. Don’t look down on yourself just because your words don’t come out how others do.

My name is Fitz, and I am 9 years old. I live in Wyoming, and I have stuttered for four years. My favorite color is blue, and I love snakes. My favorite book series is Dragon Masters, I’m on book eight. I have mixed feelings about my stutter. My stutter sometimes bothers me. My favorite strategies to use are stretchy speech and slow rate. Don’t give up on trying strategies!
