Manners on the Telephone (Way to Be) (Way to Be) Reviews
-
We've several of the "Manners" books by Carrie Finn and this is the least favorite. The very first page starts off doing the exact thing I tell my boys NOT to do. The child answers the phone and says, "Hello, this is the Jackson residence." I've always been told you NEVER say who you are when answering your home phone.
It teaches. . .
speak in a clear voice, don't yell or whisper.
what to say if the call is for someone else.
what to say if your mom can't come to the phone.
what to say if the person has the wrong number.
what to say when you call to talk to a friend.
what to say when before hanging up.
At the end there are 6 "fun facts" like "The first cordless phone was invented in 1965 by a woman named Teri Pall." -
This one got a giggle out of me. Some of the situations where so-and-so has "good manners" make me think of several times I've had to take the phone away and apologize to someone. Oh kids...
