Hi Robin,
I stutter on certain letters too and I know from doing research the therapist's say to work through the letter you get stuck on and don't try to change the word but it's easier said then done.

[robina80]

so youve got the same problem with some words like i have, ive gone to see the doctors about it to see a speech theropist but my mum and sister say i should read books more to get better at the words i find difficult to say

Robin,
Yes I do have certain letters I stutter on more. Reading out loud is good. Do you stutter if you read out loud to yourself? I neither stutter when reading nor when talking to myself but how many people go around talking to them selves..LOL Try saying certain words in front of a mirror too, watch how your mouth forms the letters then when saying them in front of a miror then try to form your mouth the same way when talking to people.

no i dont stutter reading to myself ie in my head but i do stutter reading out loud, ive tried looking at my mouth and feeling my tongue on how i say certain words and the words that i stutter on, very interesting actually how i got it because before i was fine i could talk normal without stuttering, i wonder what causes stuttering its strange?!

[teri60]

How old are you Robin? Do you stutter saying your name or do you stutter on anything else? I've been stuttering since a young child and had therapy in school, it never really helped me.

i was 14-15 when i started to have a stammer on words like food, velvet, fetch, vocal you get the picture and ever since then ive had it, im 24 now and i dont stammer on my name i do on my age tho coz the word 4 starts of with the letter f

That is weird that it started at 14 or 15, usually it starts in childhood. Have you done any research online about stuttering starting at teens?
Maybe as a teen because you started high school or middle school and it was a new place for you or maybe puberty set in, with hormones and all. I will try to do some research of my own and see if I find anything.
