Reading aloud works. Stuttering is psychological to an extent. Reading aloud with fluency proves to yourself that speaking itself is not the issue. I can also read with 100% fluency, or even talk to myself. Habits are built over time and reinforced by repeated stuttering. It’s self reinforcing, so reading can be a great step towards building confidence and reframing your mindset around it. We may or may not be able to eliminate it completely, but we can work with what we’ve got and use tools that benefit our unique style of communication. At the end of the day, it’s important we compare ourselves to ourselves only. One final comment. Try not to overthink it. Just start trying new things, new ways to challenge yourself and your beliefs around stuttering. I have a book that helped me a lot if you’re curious.
