Reading in class w/ a stutter I had to read a page of grapes of wrath in front of my class today. It wasn’t a bad stuttering day so I was chill about it. But then I start reading and it’s like every stuttering technique I’ve ever learned and good luck I had that day goes out the window. Wtf. I live in a small town and I’ve gone to school with everyone since kindergarten so they know I stutter and they’re really understanding. But it’s still really embarrassing to stutter that much when I’ve gone through so much therapy and I’m typically fluent in everyday convos. Was wondering if any techniques work for y’all specifically when reading?
