> It's different for everyone (some people will stutter while reading, some only while reading in public, some won't stutter when reading, like you), so keep that in mind when reading my answer. Maybe it doesn't apply to you. :) > It's possible that you know you don't stutter when reading so you're not anxious at all when doing it (consciously or unconsciouly), but when you talk there is the possibility that you will stutter and people's potentially judging you or noticing your speech isn't what they usually hear, and this can induce anxiety. Stutter is feeding from this fear usually.. (again it can be perfectly unconscious if you don't feel it) > Did you try reading in public (to someone you know for example) ? Or did you only try reading alone ? I read a book when nobody at home
