WHY PEOPLE SORT
Keep Our Minds Organized
• We sort songs into
playlists so that we
don’t have one
huge chaotic
jumble of music.
The playlists help
us organize the
songs in our
minds.
• We sort spelling
words into categories
so that we don’t have
to keep track of one
huge chaotic mess of
words. The
categories help us
organize the words in
our minds.
We Can Find Things Fast
• We sort songs into
playlists so that we
can find them fast,
without having to
think too hard
about it, or having
to search our
entire collection of
songs each time.
• We sort words into
categories so that we
can remember their
spellings fast,
without having to
think too hard, or
having to recall all of
the spelling rules we
know in order to spell
each individual word.

playlists so that we
can appreciate
their similarities
and differences.

to what makes all
the songs in a
playlist “go

expert on those songs…
