 Notes for Parents and Teachers
• I used this story for several students. One student was
very shy about meeting new people, and enjoyed
computers, so I thought this would be a good way to
practice the skill. If your student isn’t shy, you can leave
these parts out of the story.
• I also used this story for helping a student practice
saying hello to other teachers and students at school.
• When you get to page 13 (“Let’s practice saying hello”),
you can either practice saying hello to the pictures of
people in this book (you can give them names), or you
can practice with real people. My second student
enjoyed saying hello to others at school immediately
after reading that part of the story.
Saying “Hello” to People
Sometimes, I meet new people.
If I meet someone new with my mom,
dad, or teacher, it is nice to say hello to
the new person.
There are many ways to say hello.
 I can say, “Hi.”
Hi
 I can say, “Hello.”
Hello!
I can say, “Hi, How are you?”
Hi, how
are you?
I can also wave to say hello.
 Sometimes, I might feel shy when saying
hello to people. This is okay. My mom, dad,
or teacher will stay with me to help me feel
less shy.
It makes people feel happy when you
say hello to them.
Let’s practice saying hello.
 After you say hello, the person might
say hello to you, or ask you a question
like, “What’s your name?” It is okay to
answer the question.
I am learning about saying hello to
people!
