Ok. Save your $5 and go to code academy.org. Free. This is trying to learn to code not with actual code or a computer with blocks or html... no it's a workbook version. Very badly written, as well. It reminds me of that tee shirt - "I am a programr... programmmer... oh... drat.. I code." Your child will learn nothing about block mod. No hands on, no learn. Can you learn to sew without string and a needle? No tools.. just words and quizzes.
I started using scratch to teach my two year old some fundamentals of computer sciences and computer programming and I picked up the Coding with Scratch Workbook from DK Workbooks to help add some structure to the Scratch lesson I set up with my daughter. For me the DK Workbook has been an essential tool to help me get the most out of Scratch. It has a good selection of step by step tutorials and it's very easy to read and understand.
My son is teaching himself scratch with various online tools and he was happy to get this book to give him some more ideas. I'm amazed at what he can do without any guidance from me. I would buy again!
I bought this book from a local book store, not online at . I gave it to my 12 year-old son who is interested in programming. He really liked the book. He said the star rating for this book should be 4 or 5 stars. He has gone through the entire book. Aspects he liked about the book were: It helped him make games, it was easy to understand and he liked the blocks better than just typing in code. My son said he would recommend this books to other kids who want to learn about coding with scratch.
I purchased this book along with a few others of similar subject for my granddaughter. She is 8 years old and is so curious about how programs and apps work. I am a computer tech with over 22 years’ experience and while I do understand some coding I am no expert at it. I did my best to explain to her but I could tell she wasn’t fully understanding what I was saying and still wanted to know more. Not one to crush a child’s curiosity I thought I would try some books on her level and let her go with those.I am happy to report that this book is awesome in explaining in a simple to understand language that doesn’t talk down to you. In a very short time from when she opened the book she was creating her own quick little videos. It was so enjoyable watching her be creative that I picked up the book and started to look it over. Before I knew it I too was following along with some of the instructions and creating my own little programs.I love this book and feel confident in recommending this to anyone who’s child or even adults that might be interested in this type of thing.
My son who is homeschooled wanted to learn how to code on the PC. So I got this and it's super simple instructions are easy for him to follow along, read and learn. I've never heard of scratch before this so it was a joy to see something meant for kids. It's free to download and use. He is 12, but I think a good age range would be 10-14 for this book. I'm going to save him for his younger brothers after he's completely done with it.
This workbook helped me develop my curriculum for teaching Scratch to 4 - 6 graders. I used the tutorials teach basic introductory Scratch, introducing the stage, sprites, backgrounds, etc. I also used it to reinforce loops, conditionals, and variables. It's an excellent resource! By using this book, I was very satisfied with how my curriculum shaped up and allowed the students to learn enough to create a complete final project for their coding class.
Scratch is a great tool for teaching kids to program. I purchased two of these so that my nieces and I can work through them together. They were so excited to open this present up and learn to program computers like Uncle BJ. The workbook is easy enough to use that my non-techy sister can help them with it too.
