The money you deposit is yours, even though you leave it at the bank! Sometimes after you've saved your money, you want to get some of it back, maybe to buy a new toy ? When you want to get your money back, you make a withdrawal. A withdrawal is asking the bank for some of your money. You do this by giving the bank teller a piece of paper called a withdrawal slip. A withdrawal slip is just like a deposit slip, but instead of putting money in, you’re taking it out! Give the teller your bankbook and a withdrawal slip. She’ll give you the amount of money you’ve asked for. Then she’ll subtract that much money from your account. When she gives you your book back, look at the balance. Your new balance will be the money you’ve saved less the money you’ve taken out.
