Kavi Can't Find the Rocket

Kavi saved SO many files — drawings, photos, little games — all tipped into one big pile. "Now where is my rocket picture?" Kavi groaned, scrolling past hundreds of files. Grandma Owl smiled. "Let's make folders, little one." A folder is like a labelled box inside the device that holds files that belong together. They made a Pictures folder and a Games folder and tucked each file into the right one. "Now watch," said Grandma. Kavi opened the Pictures folder — and there was the rocket, right at the top! When you save a file, give it a clear name and put it in the right folder. Then it is easy to find again.

What your child will learn

1One big pile, or sorted into folders?When every file is dumped in one pile, the one you want is hard to find. When files are sorted into folders — labelled boxes that group files that belong together — you open the right folder and find it fast. Tap each card to compare.

2Which folder does each file belong in?Organising means putting files that belong together into the same folder. Photos go in the Photos folder; schoolwork goes in the Schoolwork folder. Tap the right box for each one.

3Kavi needs the holiday photo — where first?Kavi saved the holiday photo in the Photos folder. Now Kavi wants to look at it again. Predict where Kavi should look first, then reveal.
