Hi! My name is Giovanni. I am 8 years old from Texas. I am in the 3rd


grade. Some things I like


include football, basketball, and soccer. My football team is the Tomahawks. I play defense, offense, and the kickoff lineman.


Cut out and carry with you.


Sometimes I stutter. The types of stuttering I do most are word repetition and phrase repetition. Sometimes I have blocks too. I learned in speech therapy that it is okay to stutter. I also learned strategies that help when I stutter - easy onset and slowing down. I like going to speech therapy.
