background info
Authors Sheryl Ferlito and Nancy Chapel Eberhardt joined forces to create Sortegories while working together on the development team for LANGUAGE! The Comprehensive Literacy Intervention 3rd Edition by Jane Fell Greene. They brought to the project their previous publications—Sort It! (Sheryl) and Categories! (Nancy), hence the name Sortegories! Together they combined and expanded their individual publications to provide practice in all layers of word knowledge—phonemic, phonological, morphological, semantic, and grammatical. Today, Sortegories 3.0 has the same goal, a new look, and alignment with the Science of Reading.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to accelerate literacy learning by providing systematic and explicit practice from sound to text.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a web-based product aligned with the Science of Reading for teachers, parents and tutors to close the practice gap.
Our Vision
Our vision is to facilitate educational equity through literacy.
