Rista is learning to speak.

Innovative books that stimulate speech initiation, development, and enrichment in children! The only books that encompass all the elements needed to encourage speech development.

Meet Sensible Rista and his cheerful family!

The first part of Rista's adventures is intended for the youngest children, but also for those slightly older who are experiencing speech development delays. It focuses primarily on onomatopoeic expressions and vowels used by one-year-old children. This book, with its intentionally simple form and enriched by beautiful illustrations that encourage naming objects and repeating sounds, naturally supports your child's speech development. Carefully crafted texts encourage reading, storytelling, repetition, and speech. With Sensible Rista, learning to talk becomes a game.

"Rista Learns to Speak," as well as the entire "Sensible Rista" book series, is much more than a picture book. Each book is a tool carefully designed by speech therapists for stimulating speech in children.

The series follows the next stages of speech development through its titles – from the first sounds and onomatopoeia to full sentences. It combines expertise with beautiful illustrations that are more than just a visual treat – they open numerous new windows for learning.

Here is why special educators recommend Sensible Rista:

With their clarity in structure, storytelling, and illustrations, the books easily maintain the attention of even the youngest readers. They do not contain excessive clutter or distractions, offering huge potential for:

• practicing and articulating speech through onomatopoeia and vowel pronunciation,
• visual searching,
• observing spatial relationships,
• classification (by size, shape, color...),
• adopting the concept of numbers,
• exploring family context...

The list is endless; parents/practitioners just need to know the child well, follow the author's instructions, and indulge in shared play and learning!

These books have sold over 1,000,000 copies worldwide for a reason, and speech therapists recommend them as a supplement to home-based work.

The author of the book is Dr. Marta Galewska-Kustra, a speech therapist and educator, and an assistant professor at the Department of Speech Therapy at the Maria Grzegorzewska Academy of Special Education in Warsaw. She specializes in developing creativity and treating delayed speech development and articulation disorders in children. She is the author of the bestselling series that helps children develop speech, "I Learn to Speak, Pronounce, and Tell Stories."
