Students read (or can have read to
them), a "real-life" one paragraph story. Then they write a
check to make a small dollar amount purchase for a product
or service. This easy-to-learn method teaches basic banking
skills, and when used with the reproducible Practice
Worksheets, gives students a true hands-on way to practice
writing checks. From elementary students to adults preparing
to open a checking account for the first time, all ages will
delight in using this complete and realistic check writing
system.
Even participants who have no writing skills should be
asked to verbally or in sign language instruct a
paraprofessional on how to fill out a check for them,
leaving the signature line blank so that the participant can
sign or mark their check. Both teens and adults with severe
developmental disabilities may be in real life situations
where other people will write checks for them. This program
will help them to be part of the check writing process to
the best of their abilities, so they can help choose how the
money in their checking account is spent. When participants
are writing personal checks in the future to department
stores, utility companies, video stores, dry cleaning
stores, and other merchants, the skills they learned here
will have given them a "real life" banking
experience to write checks with confidence.
Check Writing Practice Binder
Includes teacher's three-ring binder and instruction guide,
with 50 reproducible Level 1 worksheets and 50 reproducible
Level 2 worksheets. Level I has a Helper Guide for
individuals who need maximum assistance in learning to write
a check. Level 2 is for individuals who need minimum
assistance, or who have successfully completed Level 1. All
worksheets have age-appropriate illustrations to help
participants comprehend what product or service is being
purchased in the story. If a participant has limited or no
reading skills, the story can be read aloud by someone, with
the participant following along using the illustration as a
functional reading tool. Large type is used for easy
reading. After mastering the Level 2 worksheets, the student
moves to writing realistic checks using individual Check
Packets.
Check Packets (Set of 10)
Each of the 10 Check Packets include a Deluxe Check wallet
that holds a PCI Check Pad and PCI Check Register, along
with handy slots for the enclosed PCI Identification Card
and other forms of identification or banking cards that
teachers may want to add to this program. This pocket book
approach helps teach participants the importance of keeping
all check writing supplies together in a safe place. Three
PCI 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 PCI Deposit Slips. The PCI Check
Register has a large space for each entry to make it easy to
record written checks and deposits.
Check Writing Complete Kit includes
one Check Writing Practice Binder and 10 Check Packets.
Check Writing Practice Additional Check Packets
Is a set of 5 Check Packets and is sold separately for
teachers who have groups of more than 10 and for teachers
who are using other programs that require check writing.
Check Pad Refills are also available separately
in a set of 30.
