Your child sees that we trade money for goods and services. We suggest reading it together.

What children learn in Level 26

People trade money for the things they need and the help they need.
We give money at the store. We get bread, apples, or a toy.
We can also trade money for a service, like a haircut or a bus ride.
Your turn! What do we give so we can have the apples? Money!
Try it with a grown-up! Next time you buy something small, let your child hand over the money and say what you got.
