The short answer to your question is "yes." Not everyone loves to read (though I do like to promote in therapy when possible). Another thing to remember is that a number of the books that we list in the article are fairly short. In fact, several could be easily read jointly by the reluctant child & the SLP during a therapy session. So, with some exceptions, it's not really a case of "all this extra homework". As Kelly and I have alluded to in some of the posts in this discussion, there are other ways to promote openness and self-analysis of stuttering. This is just one way, and it may not be appropriate for all children. It would be up to the clinician to decide, based on his or her knowledge of an individual client, whether this would be an appropriate way to go.
