As soon as I read the first book of the series, my teacher mind began to imagine all of the extensions that could be created to increase children’s financial literacy. As a director of an early childhood center, I don’t get a lot of opportunities to create and present lessons anymore but I introduced our 4 and 5-year-olds to Lily Goes to the Bank, and did a post-reading activity. They were engaged with the book-illustrations and text- immediately. We had a lively discussion in which the children related their experience with banks and money, but more importantly, showed that they grasped the concepts introduced in the book. An informal assessment a week later showed that 90% of the children retained a clear understanding of the main concept of the book- that saving money in a bank increases it’s value. I can’t wait to work with the teaching staff to incorporate the entire series into our program. I do not know of any other books or curriculum approach financial literacy for young children in such a unique and approachable way.
