Absolutely, reading aloud can help. I'm pretty sure Joe Biden's stuttering story involves him reading aloud in from of a mirror. For me it was quite a bit more than just reading aloud. But what works for me may not be the right program for another. For the speech therapy I received, reading aloud was a large part of my practice. It was more than just reading aloud though. It was taking the skills I had been taught and applying them. Just I as would do under the supervision of the speech therapist during sessions, I had a stack of worksheets to work through at home. It was reinforcing all of the skills I learned, making them into habits. Getting that muscle memory, as it were. It was the habit of starting with enough breath to get through what I was reading. Keeping my breath continuing throughout what I was reading. Stopping before I was out of breath. How I was forming my sounds in conjunction with my breathing. How I was transitioning from monotone speech to normal speech. After doing those sheets hundreds of times, I pretty much knew them by heart. I would be driving in the car, and I would work through them as best I could from memory. It gets monotonous though. So, I'd apply my skills to answer talk radio. I would comment on or respond to something said on the radio, using the speech techniques I learned in therapy. I'm a huge advocate of speech therapy. I don't think I'd have found fluency without the help of my speech therapist. It's great that you're seeing one! It's funny much we grow and change. My stutter was kind of all-consuming. It was a monkey on my back. Always there. Always weighing me down. I never would have imagined a future where only consider my stuttering in the past tense. Yet here I am. I still have the occasional disfluency, but it never bothers me. As opposed to growing up with it always bothering me.
