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.
