Publisher Description:
Readers learn about making, saving, and borrowing money in this illuminating guide for young people on how to manage the money they earn. Helpful examples get readers thinking about how they plan to earn income in the future. Clear text helps them understand relevant concepts such as income tax, interest, and the positive and negative effects of making investments and borrowing money for large purchases.
Using contemporary language and current money technology, this series of reading books is a nice way to teach your middle-schoolers about finance. Since there is not any work to do, I would not count it as a high school credit option – though it would make a nice add-on to a high school course. The books are colorful and graphically interesting. It is very helpful in teaching the vocabulary that is associated with monetary issues. Several kid-safe websites are listed for further research. 45 pgs, pb. ~Sara
