Create Lifelong Change
Do you wish you had learned more about money as a child?
Imagine how different your life could have been if you’d started building smart money habits early on—saving for big dreams, spending wisely, avoiding debt, and growing your wealth through strategies like compound interest. By teaching kids about money today, you’re empowering them to avoid the regrets many adults share and equipping them for a future of confidence, independence, and security. Investing in their financial education is one of the most impactful gifts you can give.
Now, you have the opportunity to give the next generation that advantage. Team Sammy's Dream Big Read strategy makes it simple, time-efficient, and fun for everyone!
A Unique and Sammyriffic Financial Education Experience
With over 20 years of hands-on experience, we’ve developed effective ways to ignite kids’ enthusiasm for learning about money. Our Sammy Dream Big Read leverages this expertise to make it easy for you to create a meaningful impact on children’s lives.
The program is ideal for 2nd to 4th graders and can be tailored to fit your schedule. Whether you want a 30-minute session or a full hour, you can customize the experience in two, three, or more steps and your teaching priorities. It can be a one-time event or expanded into an ongoing program.
And, in addition to teaching kids about money and inspiring them to dream big, the experience will help participants sharpen essential life skills like setting goals, prioritizing wants and needs, and more.
