Subjects: speech,speechFluency

Grades: 3,4,5,6,7

Description: This speech therapy activity for stuttering provides practice with pseudostuttering. In the pseudostuttering activity, we deliberately stutter as we learn about sharks in non-fiction text! Stuttering desensitization is helpful since it helps us get used to how to handle a stuttering event when it happens. Then we are better able to deal with stuttering by making changes to become confident speakers. The cancellation method is encouraged to stop when a stutter occurs, think of a stuttering strategy, then repeat the word and continue with the sentence. Three types of stuttering are targeted including repetitions, blocking, and prolongations. *Non-fiction text is used for sentences with audio examples on each card. Text is a 3.0 grade equivalent. *This deck is not self-grading but intended for direct therapy use and carry-over practice. Bonus: The last card in the deck is a reinforcement activity where your student gets to create their own picture. This can also be used for retelling content information with heterogenous groupings. Included: 4 instructional cards, 26 tasks cards, 1 reinforcement card.
