Pucio

Pucio is a series of popular books, created by a speech therapist and child educator, presented in a highly engaging format.

Pucio is a character beloved by young children, featured in a book series published by Nasza Księgarnia. The series is authored by child educator and speech therapist Marta Galewska-Kustra, with illustrations by Joanna Kłos. Each book in the series is designed to support a child’s speech development at various stages of growth.

The books are concise yet very clear, featuring colorful, understated illustrations. Furthermore, each volume is perfectly tailored to a child’s age and developmental abilities. The content of every book relates to the everyday experiences of a growing child, while simultaneously helping them refine their pronunciation, learn the basics of grammar, and expand their vocabulary.

The Pucio series can support your child’s bilingualism.

Parents play a crucial role in determining whether their child will speak Polish in the future and achieve full bilingualism. It is highly beneficial to dedicate plenty of time to active engagement with the Polish language from a very young age—speaking, conversing, reading, playing, and exploring in Polish—all of which will significantly contribute to the development of the minority language and the attainment of full bilingualism later on. Proven and tested materials designed to support the learning of the Polish language will help you in this process.

For the youngest children:

I Speak Polish (Mówię po polsku)

I Listen and Learn to Speak (Słucham i uczę się mówić) – a speech therapy series useful for therapeutic support.

For very young children, we also recommend other series endorsed by speech therapists, teachers, and parents of bilingual children:

Kicia Kocia and Nunuś

Smart Child Academy (Akademia mądrego dziecka)

Nicely and Coherently (Ładnie i składnie)

For parents, we recommend guidebooks and books based on the principles of attachment parenting; these will help you navigate your role as a parent and draw upon the extensive experience of psychologists and other parents.
