How to Cure Stammering Fast

By Carlos Zhang

If you are looking to learn how to cure stammering then I will show you how. You are probably wandering how I am able to make such a bold statement, but remember when it comes to something as deep as stammering it is not going to go away just because someone tells you that they can show you how to cure stammering. But listen for a moment as I go on. What you are about to learn is not an overnight cure. Tomorrow will be the same; you're not going to wake up cured from stammering. Like all things, you are going to have to do some work. Okay more than some, let's try a lot. There are certain things you need to do, certain actions you need to take to get the job done right. I will walk you through those steps.

There are two science terms I would like to bring up to you about stammering, but after I have told you keep them in the back of your mind because this will not be a science journal. It is important that you know about them because they are both a part of the cure. These two words are called triggers and blocks. Stammering deals with blocks more than they do with triggers, while those that deal with stuttering deal more with triggers.

There are two fancy terms in the science of stammering that I am going to bring up briefly, and then we are going to put them away in the back of your mind, because this isn't a science journal. But it is important that you know about them, because they are part of the cure. These two words are triggers and blocks. In the case of stammering, we are dealing more so with blocks than with triggers, as triggers are more related to stuttering.

What you need first to do so you can get started using this exercise is to get a good book or magazine, and find something of interest to you, then time yourself reading this for the next minute. While you are doing this make sure you focus on speaking fluently and clearly. Do not get nervous and stress yourself out over this minute of reading. Don't let it bother you, just count the words that you read during that time. This way you have a number you can compare to as you make progress. This number is referred to as the baseline.

Next you need to read the same thing again. Make sure to read at a pace that doesn't make you stammer, be comfortable. You will probably start at a slow pace, but don't let that bother you. Also be sure to record the amount of words read for that minute. It will not matter if it is less or more than your first number. You should only focus on how fast you can read out loud, without stammering.

Do it again. Read for a minute out loud, and write down the number. Your goal here is to get faster over time. Do not rush it, take your time. Only get faster if you can make it through your reading without stammering at that speed. Read without stammering, practice will make it better.

All of this will not happen overnight, so don't think it will. Make sure you know how important it is to know that this will take time for you to get through this exercise fast, without stammering. When you have reached a good speaking speed with no stammering, then you have reached the time to move on from this exercise. Just make sure you change up what you read each time.

Rinse and repeat. Continue to read the selection out loud, and recording your number of words read in that minute. Your ultimate aim is to get faster over time. Take your time about it though. You only want to get faster with your reading if you can get through the selection without stammering so, just concentrate on reading without stammering, and get faster as you keep practicing. - 30415
