Sort It

• Grades K–3
• Science
• Reading

Sort It has your child drag pictures into the right groups — living or not, land or sea, mammal or bird — and every card explains why it belongs.

Free trial: 3 days with the first 25 levels of every game. No card needed.

What it teaches

• Sort things into groups by what they have in common
• Living vs. nonliving; mammal, bird, fish and other animal groups
• Solid, liquid or gas (Science sort)
• Learn category words
