Saying Hi Social Story Curriculum

Saying Hi is an English-language greeting story with examples of waving from a distance, greeting someone nearby, and using a familiar person’s name. It also describes different responses after a greeting. Accompanying material includes a rule summary, quizzes, answer keys, a token-board form, and a teaching guide.

Publisher identified in the materials: Special Learning.

The story presents a three-step greeting sequence: looking at the person, smiling, and saying hi. Other examples cover waving when someone is far away, using a familiar name, and a friend either inviting play or continuing to walk after saying hello.

The compact story text includes a greeting-rule summary. The quiz booklet contains basic yes/no, fill-in-the-blank with a word bank, and matching activities, followed by advanced fill-in-the-blank, true/false, and multiple choice, with an answer key.

The token-board form includes a space for a chosen reward. The 2013 instructional guide covers reinforcement, token systems, skill maintenance, and role-play activities with people or dolls.
