Financial Literacy for Kids: Why It’s Never Too Early to Start

💰 Post 4:

Let’s be honest — we were never taught this stuff growing up. And now, as parents, we want our kids to know more, do more, and start smarter.

At Genius Reading, we believe financial literacy should be part of every child’s life — not just when they’re adults with bills.

💡 What Is Financial Literacy, Anyway?

It’s knowing how money works. It’s making smart decisions with what you earn and what you spend. It’s saving, budgeting, investing — and understanding your worth.

👶 Why Start Early?

Because money habits form early. Kids as young as 5 years old can learn the basics:

• What’s a want vs. a need?

• What does it mean to save?

• How do you earn money?

📚 How We Teach It

Our books, workbooks, and games introduce money concepts in a fun, kid-friendly way. Characters like Reggie Raccoon make it easy to learn without lectures.

We talk about:

• 💸 Saving jars

• 🧾 Budgeting basics

• 🏦 Entrepreneurship

• 🎮 Even investing in your future!

✨ Parent Tip: Turn everyday moments into money lessons. Let your child help plan a grocery trip or decide how to use birthday money. Talk about how much things cost and how long it takes to earn it.

The earlier they learn, the brighter their future. And we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
