Description
The Sort Stork has an important job. They live in the cloud palace and have to sort all the letters and packages coming in. Important letters for kings, of course. Even more important love letters. And once in a while, an urgent package that contains a baby to be delivered.
But the villainous Chaos Cat works against them, because they don’t want a specific letter to be delivered. Follow the Sort Stork as they sort and group letters in all sorts of ways, trying to do their work despite the chaos!
This story is split into 10 chapters. Each chapter is written to be as standalone as possible, so you can read one short chapter to your Apprentice(s) at a time. See it as many short stories combined into one bundle, with an overarching thread that connects them.
It explores the idea of logically grouping items, which—combined with the previous resources on comparing—allows sorting as well. This isn’t just a nice skill to have for games or jobs, but an essential logical skill to finetune. All day, every day, we’re constantly making good decisions and logical snap judgements because we were able to see patterns (“group alike things”) and set priorities (“this task is more important than that task”).
That’s why we wanted to devote a unique fairy tale to this concept, practicing the skill and showing ways to apply it in practice.

Subject: Mathematics
The curriculum is split into six main subjects that align with your typical school subjects.
This resource is part of the Mathematics subject. Below is a summary:
This subject teaches Mathematics from first principles to calculus. Level 1 explores the basic skills needed before you do any counting or see any numbers (such as grouping and comparing objects). Level 2(+) can then introduce numbers, counting, addition, multiplication, and more.
Faction: Explorers
This resource is part of the Explorers Faction.
But that's just one way to teach and explore its topic(s)!
You can always move to a different Faction to find a more effective way to teach the same topic.
Played a quiz? Try a game! Played a game? Try an escape room! And so on.
For example,
Charm: Novel
This product is part of the Novel charm.
Visit its main page to learn more about what that means. Below is a summary:
Novels are written stories. We provide them in both digital format (ideal for ereaders) and physical format (ideal for printing).
Many of our stories can be bought in bookstores or rented from libraries too. Most of them center around an educational topic and explore that in tense and exciting ways.
Spell: My First Groups
This resource is part of the My First Groups topic (or "spell").
Earlier topics taught you to compare objects and check if they match or not. This allows you to GROUP matching things together! This is the final step towards counting (in the next level). Because, well, counting is nothing more than adding things to the same ‘group’, and then attaching a number to that.
