 FDIC'S "MONEY SMART NEWS FOR KIDS"
Helping youth learn about money and financial matters will set them up for good financial health as they become adults. Learning what banks do, why they are important, and how the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (FDIC) keeps consumers’ money safe will help our youth participate in the nation’s economy.
FDIC Money Smart News for Kids includes nine chapters, which introduce basic banking terms to children, who are perhaps just beginning to learn about finances. Each issue builds upon the next and introduces two characters who try out different financial concepts along the way.

A GLOSSARY OF STOCK MARKET AND FINANCIAL INVESTING TERMS
Whether you’re a seasoned investor navigating the complexities of the
market or a curious beginner just starting to learn about investing, it’s
crucial to understand some basic vocabulary. The world of finance uses
a lot of terms that might be unfamiliar, like “bull market, “derivatives,” or “prospectus,” and you’ll need to know the language to comprehend
financial data and make smart investments in the stock market. But once
you have this knowledge, it can be quite empowering, allowing you to
​take more control over your finances and better plan for your future.
