Dear Pam,
I would definitely recommend a speech and language evaluation at Mass General for your son. It appears that he is getting worse and beginning to react strongly to his own stuttering. I don't know if the phonetic approach to reading is a contributing factor or not.
In any case, it is generally agreed now that young children who stutter should be enrolled in therapy as soon as possible. Look at the previous posts in this session about finding a competent clinician who in interested in fluency disorders. I know there are a number of good people in the Boston area.
I wish you and your son success.
Ken
