Two optional extension days are included for families who want to go deeper. Built around a rich library of fiction and nonfiction, this unit moves from the concrete to the complex: from what money actually is, through earning, spending, saving, and budgeting, all the way to credit, inflation, supply and demand, and the basics of investing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eEvery day follows the same predictable structure: Read, Talk, Make\/Do, Notice, and Age Extensions. All children participate in the same shared experience. Depth is scaled across four learner tiers so that your preschooler and your middle schooler are learning side by side, at the level that fits them best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis unit does not prescribe values or financial philosophies. It builds vocabulary, thinking habits, and the kind of careful reasoning that makes good choices possible. No worksheets. No tests. Just good books, rich conversation, and learning that lasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e5 core lesson days plus 2 optional extension days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFacilitator read-aloud pages for every day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDifferentiated Age Extensions across four learner tiers: Pre-Reader (3-5), Early Reader (5-8), Established Reader (8-10), and Analyzing Reader (10-13)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAnchor and companion literature guide organized by day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTips for Families\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFull reference list in APA format\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBooks featured in this unit include:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat Is Money?\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eMake Money\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eHow to Spend Wisely\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWhat Is a Credit Card?\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWhat Is Inflation?\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWhat Is Supply and Demand?\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eInterest and Compound Interest\u003c\/em\u003e by Kelly Lee; \u003cem\u003eI Am Money\u003c\/em\u003e by Julia Cook and Garrett Gunderson; \u003cem\u003eEverything Money\u003c\/em\u003e by Kathy Furgang; \u003cem\u003eAlexander, Who Used to Be Rich Last Sunday\u003c\/em\u003e by Judith Viorst; \u003cem\u003eBunny Money\u003c\/em\u003e by Rosemary Wells; \u003cem\u003eJust Saving My Money\u003c\/em\u003e by Mercer Mayer; \u003cem\u003eThe Berenstain Bears' Trouble with Money\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Berenstain Bears' Dollars and Sense\u003c\/em\u003e by Stan and Jan Berenstain; \u003cem\u003eLuna's Three Money Jars\u003c\/em\u003e by Myha Le; \u003cem\u003eSave, Spend, Share\u003c\/em\u003e by Syga Thomas; \u003cem\u003eWhat Is a Stock?\u003c\/em\u003e by Kelly Lee; and \u003cem\u003eThe Everything Kids' Money Book\u003c\/em\u003e by Bretter McWhirter Sember.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSecular.
