Helping Kids Get Smart About Money
For classroom teachers and parents alike there are numerous resources available to help kids get smart about money. The Jump$tart Coalition (www.jumpmstart.org) has a clearinghouse of resources available that is searchable to grade level and by topic. Money Savvy Generation (www.msgen.com) also has materials for classrooms and for home use.
Importance of financial literacy
