Stuttering activities, or training, play a critical purpose in controlling your stuttering. Just like becoming better at things that doesn't come naturally easy for you, practicing activities consistently is the best way to success. But who has time for hours of practice day-to-day to work on their stuttering? Here are 3 easy and fast stuttering routines you can do in the comfort of your own home to help you overcome your stuttering.

Stuttering Activity #1 (5 Mins) Pick up a book or magazine and read out loud for just one minute (yes time yourself) as slow as necessary so that you don't start stuttering . Focus on talking with complete confidence, and continuing to move ahead. By the end of the minute notice how far you've gone. Repeat this over again Four additional times for a total of Five minutes. Each time reading as gradually as needed to talk clearly, and marking how far you've gotten every time. Your goals should be to read farther every time, or read the same amount in a clearer fashion.

Stuttering Activity #2 (5 Mins) Just as before hold your chosen book or magazine and while reading out loud - attempt to stutter. Yeah, literally force yourself to stutter. Do this for 2 1/2 minutes. Now read from the book or magazine out loud again while concentrating on speaking clearly and listen to how long you can read in a minute without stuttering. You might surprise yourself at your lack of stuttering after attempting to stutter for 2 1/2 minutes.

Stuttering Activity #3 (5 Mins) At this point for 2 1/2 minutes read out loud all over again from the book or magazine, but use something to "keep time" with. Tap a pen on the table, use a metronome if you have one, tap your feet, whatever - the point here is to maintain a steady beat. Speak while maintaining the beat, and find out how far you will get. Then in the final 2 1/2 minutes read without the beat and pay attention to if you can "beat" your previous effort.

Continue to Practice. Practice these stuttering activities frequently and with persistence you will notice obvious improvements in your speech.
