Por Favor Y Gracias / Saying Please and Thank You

Learning to speak in a polite manner can be tough. Sometimes, people receive gifts they don’t like, don’t want to help out at home, or are just in a hurry. Readers learn that politeness is easy to spread with just a few simple words, such as please and thank you. Taking the time to thank someone lets him or her know they are appreciated. Saying please shows a similar respect. Easy-to-read language aids beginning readers navigating both text and good manners for the first time.
