I'm going to keep it short and simple. I stutter since I can remember. I always had a terrible time reading outloud and talking on the phone. I joined a book club/study group over a year ago with some old timers and they encouraged me to read a paragraph or two out loud when we meet up. After about a year of doing this I over came my fear and anxiety and it somewhat helped me recover my stutter. I still stutter but not as much as I know it's mostly a fear/anxiety thing.
