FRED® Blog Reading Q&As are based on posts from the FRED Blog. Each short reading offers an economic insight based on a FRED graph and includes multiple-choice questions on information literacy, numeracy and economic analysis skills. Students practice how to read data graphs and tell the story behind the numbers. Check out this one about calculating the value of women's unpaid work!
Check out the new In Plain English video in the Resource Gallery. In this video, Penny, our tour guide, will show you around the Federal Reserve System, introducing you to who we are and what we do, and the content has been updated to reflect current Monetary Policy. NOTE: If you have already assigned the original In Plain English video to a classroom this year, your students will still be able to complete their work using that video and quiz.
