By Beth Beutler 		  
1     "What are you doing, Mom?" Jake asked as he poured himself a glass of milk.
 
2     "I am trying to reorganize my home office. First I have to sort through all these piles of paper. I need to put them into alphabetical order."
 
3     "Can I help you with that?" Jake asked, just before hearing a knock at the back door. It was Jackie, who was probably coming over to hang out.
 
4     "Hi, Jackie," Jake's mom said. "Come on in."
 
5     Jackie noticed all the papers on the table and was curious.
 
6     "I was just telling Jake that I had to sort through all these papers. They need to be put in alphabetical order. Would you two like to help?"
 
7     Jackie gulped. She had really hoped to just play outside, but maybe this could be interesting.
 
8     Jake said, "Sure!" He was always up for a challenge.
 
9     Jake's mom moved a stack of papers into the dining room. "Let me share a way that I have found helps me alphabetize quickly."
