Hi! I’m studying to be an SLP. Reading in cadence, or just reading in general, is a great way to work on fluency. The professor that taught me about these techniques had a stutter himself, so he was able to give us live examples about how reading affects his stuttering. Reading in cadence worked really well for him! This means that he used a sing-songy rhythm to read the passage, which might sound strange, but his fluency improved greatly. Unfortunately, for him he reported that these effects did not always carry over to conversational speech unless he continued this singing intonation pattern. I suggest using poems with a recognizable rhythm and rhyme to start off!
