How does mail get to our house?

A mail helper brings it because it has our house's name. A truck carries letters. The helper walks to our door. Then mail goes in our box.

Someone first puts a letter or box in the mail. It goes to a big mail place, where workers sort it by town and street. Then a mail carrier brings it to your house and puts it in your mailbox. It is like putting toys in the right cubbies, so each one ends up where it belongs.

Mail starts when someone writes your address on a letter or package. The address tells workers where it should go. At a post office or sorting center, machines and people group the mail by town, street, and house. Then trucks carry it closer to your neighborhood. A mail carrier takes the mail for one route, follows the addresses, and leaves each piece at the right home. Fun fact: some sorting machines can read messy handwriting very fast.
