American Financial Services Association: MoneySKILL
Grades 7-college, with parental supervision
This website is provided by the American Financial Services Association (the national trade association for the consumer credit industry).
As explained at the website, MoneySKILL is a free financial literacy course to educate middle school, high school, and college students on basic money management fundamentals in the content areas of:
- Income
- Expenses
- Saving
- Investing
- Credit
- Insurance
The site further explains that “the high school and college course is designed to be used as all or part of a course in economics, math, social studies or wherever personal finances are taught. Students can access the modules in the classroom or at home. Built-in quizzes test students’ grasp of each concept. Two versions are available: High School/College and Middle School level.”
The course is free, but registration is required to access them. Completion of the registration process can take up to 2-3 days – so, plan ahead.
When you get to the site, click on the “Try a Demo!” button to try it out. Basically, you’ll see the lesson text, hear an audio narration of it, and then be asked to answer multiple-choice questions to test your knowledge of the subject matter. Again, the idea here is to provide students with money management skills that will last a lifetime.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
