I live in the United States and I think stuttering is where kids get stuck on a word like b-b-b-ball. To me I think lots of people stutter. I read in a book once that over 500,000,000 people stutter. I would like to know more about stuttering in the world. Right now I am doing a Type 3 investigation on stuttering. That's when you do research about a real world problem. A real world problem is something that kids and sometimes adults don't know about that is really important. Stuttering, of course one of those problems. So I decided to inform my school about stuttering. I think it will be very interesting. I am going to use Supercard to make a program that allows you to find out more about stuttering. I am going to put the program in the computer lab and give it to my speech therapist. It's really fun. If I could get some more information on stuttering around the world it would be really neat!!
