I work part-time in a residential facility for adjudicated youth ages 12 - 18. The curriculum has a course which attempts to teach basic financial literacy. Whenever possible I use videos and computer generated lessons due to the lack of reading and math skills of the students. One lesson is the use of a checkbook or debit card. I use a paper and pencil approach and have the students do an actual checkbook ledger. The students do entries with deposits, withdrawals and other normal checkbook functions. While the students can watch a video about use of a checkbook, the "hands-on" approach seems to work the best for these students.
