Checking Account

Read Aloud Activity

It is Saturday

morning, and Mr.
Nguyen is at the
bank. He is
withdrawing $50
from his checking account.

Mr. Nguyen needs cash because

he is going to the swap meet with his
wife. They are going to buy some T-
shirts and pillows. The sellers at the
swap meet don’t take credit cards,
debit cards, or checks. They only
take cash.

After the Nguyens finish

shopping, they are going to Tony’s
Steak House. Mr. Nugyen will use
his debit card to pay for lunch. A
debit card allows customers to pay
for purchases without using cash.
