The Deluxe Banking program covers every aspect of maintaining a checking account: Deposits, Personal Checks, Check Registers, ATM/Debit Cards, PIN Codes, and Monthly Bank Statements. The program spans a three-month period to give participants "true-life" banking practice. Participants complete financial transactions such as paying monthly bills, obtaining cash for unexpected expenses, paying for recreations, and buying gifts for relatives and friends.
This program is easy to facilitate because the format is similar to keeping your own checking account. Individuals of varying reading and money math abilities can set their own pace with or without the aid of a calculator. The math abilities of some students will allow them to begin with the Level 2 version making the program effective for inclusive math classroom settings. The complete program is as easy as Make a Transaction, Record the Transaction, and Find the Balance.
Deluxe Banking uses the same format as the Check Writing program with 2 levels of worksheets. Level 1 Worksheets have a Helper Guide to assist participants in making the transactions described in 80 "real-life" scenarios and a reminder to record the transactions in the check register. These are for individuals who need maximum assistance in learning to maintain a checking account. Level 2 Worksheets repeat the 80 scenarios but do not have a Helper Guide or a reminder to record the transaction. These are for individuals who need minimum assistance or who have successfully completed Level 1.
Components
• Teacher's Binder
This sturdy three-ring binder is conveniently tabbed into the following sections: Level 1 Instructions, Level 2 Instructions, Blackline Masters, Answer Keys, 80 reproducible Level 1 Worksheets, and 80 reproducible Level 2 Worksheets.
• Blackline Masters
Forms include Check Register, PINs, PIN Registration Form, ATM/Debit Card, Bank Reconciliation, and Progress Charts for Level 1 and Level 2.
• Level 1 Worksheets
Worksheets include Fill Out a Deposit Slip, Write a Check, Go to the Grocery Store, Make Your Refrigerator Payment, Get a Haircut, Help Pay the Phone Bill, Get Money for Lunch, Help Pay the Rent, Use ATM/Debit Card, Bank Statement, Balance Your Checkbook, and many more. The Level 2 Worksheets contain the same scenarios but do not include the Helper Guides.
• Deluxe Check Wallets
Each of the 10 Check Packets include a Deluxe Check wallet with three Check Pads and PCI Check Register, along with handy slots for the enclosed PCI Identification Card and other forms of identification or banking cards. This pocket book approach helps teach participants the importance of keeping all check writing supplies together in a safe place. The three check pads contain 25 checks apiece. These realistic checks are actual size to help prepare participants to write small enough for the space provided on real checks. They contain the same information that real checks have so that the transition to opening and maintaining a checking account at a local bank can be as easy as possible. Each check pad also includes eight Deposit Slips. The PCI Check Register has a large space for each entry to make it easy to record written checks and deposits.
Special Features
For groups larger than 10, additional Check Pads and Check Refills & Registers are available separately. Deluxe Banking software is also available separately.
