SuitabookShelly goes to the bank
Allison Martin
- Reading
- Read the story first, then choose a few glossary terms or signs to revisit. Use the word search, matching exercise and questions selectively, following the child’s interest rather than completing every activity.
- Themes
- Understanding banking: Shelly’s visit introduces what happens in a bank and includes opening her own account. The book presents banking as a subject to learn about through a child’s visit and supporting vocabulary activities.
- American Sign Language in learning: The book teaches ten banking signs in American Sign Language alongside its story. Signing is incorporated into the learning experience, linking communication with a practical subject.
- Worth knowing
- Pause over unfamiliar banking words and ask what each one might mean in daily life. If you use the signing content, treat the glossary as a starting point for practising together.
