Reading to children Do you guys read aloud to your kids? My husband doesn’t stutter, so you’d think he’d be the one doing most of the reading with our daughter, but honestly he’s a very flat reader. He doesn’t really use expression, his speech gets a bit mumbly, and sometimes even I have trouble following what he’s reading, lol. Meanwhile, I’m quite expressive when I read - I’d probably make a decent actor if it weren’t for my stutter - so reading aloud feels more natural for me. But I can’t help wondering: could my daughter actually pick up stuttering just from listening to me read? Has anyone seen any research on that?
