Remember: A folder is a box for files. Give it a name that says what is inside, and put a file where you would look first.
Read and answer
Read the story, then answer.
The big pileJuno's screen was covered in pictures, stories and songs, all in one big pile. She had never made a folder, so she could not find her dinosaur drawing. Her aunt Bea said a file is something you made, like a picture or a story, and a folder is a box that keeps files together and gives them a home. Juno made three folders called School, Photos and Drawings, and dragged each file into the right box. Every folder needs a name that says what is inside. Drawings tells you where to look, but a name like stuff tells you nothing. Inside Drawings, Juno made a folder called Animals, because folders can hold folders. Now she opened Drawings, then Animals, and there was the dinosaur!
