Financial Literacy (4th – 8th Grades)

Where career-ready skills are built!

Footsteps2Brilliance Financial Literacy is more than a program—it’s a launchpad for students in grades 4–8 to build real-world skills through ELA, Math, and financial learning all in one.

Academics Meet the Real World – Learning Comes to Life

Students step into Prosper Point, a vibrant digital town that grows with them. As they level up, they read high-interest books, play standard-aligned games, and use an AI-powered Writing Coach to sharpen writing skills—without adding work for teachers.  

At the heart of the experience: Interactive Graphic Novel Adventures.  Students take on roles, make decisions, and shape their stories as they: 

  • Shadow real careers
  • Start a first job
  • Launch a business
  • Learn to save, budget, invest, and solve problems.
 
 

        It’s learning that sticks- because it’s learning that matters.

Footsteps2Brilliance Financial Literacy is a cross-curricular program that helps students in grades 4–8 build career-ready skills while strengthening reading, writing, math, and critical thinking. They explore careers, make money choices, and apply what they learn in interactive graphic-novel story adventures. With built-in AI writing support and real-time reports, teachers get the tools they need to drive lifelong success.
