Teachers: Visit the Reading Q&As in our Econ Lowdown Teacher Portal to find the teacher edition for this issue, to assign an online version of the student materials and to collect student scores on the questions. You can also find a version "A" of this Page One Focus on Finance written at a lower reading level for use with middle school students or high school students struggling to comprehend the original content. The materials are still free—but having them in the portal keeps students from accessing the answer key.
