My 8 year-old loves this book. Super Scratch Programming Adventure didn't hold his attention a couple years ago, but he's gotten completely hooked by this book. It's very easy to understand and the programs are a good balance between easy to understand and complex enough to be interesting. In fact, my 5 year-old (who wants to be like her brother) is able to copy much of the programs herself. She doesn't fully understand what everything means, but she's thinking about it and getting great exposure.
I have 9 year old triplet boys who are already computer literate. One of them read this book first, wrote an awesome little game kind-of like the old 'Kaboom!' On the Atari 2600, then taught his brothers and two neighborhood kids how to code in scratch. The book has gotten some mileage on it.
My 12 year old thought this was a babies book judging it by its cover... a great teaching moment was presented and turns out he LOVES it !!! He is totally into scratch now! He would rather do this than play video games!
Excellent book. Younger kids may still need some handholding while using this book, but it is very simple and the games are really fun once you finish creating them. Even I learned scratch pretty well after following this book to work with my 8 year old. We are now creating our own games!
I didn't get much of a chance to look at this before my students (middle schoolers) took it from me. At first glance, I thought it was a little light on content, but they passed it around their coding group and I haven't seen it since. I guess that makes it a win, especially when you consider the price!
This wasn't exactly what I expected, but still worth the money. It has only 4 or 5 games to make, but shows them step by step. This is helpful for kids starting out with Scratch, or for teachers.
Coding in Scratch workbook is very clear and easy to understand. The step-by-step instructions and colorful pages are not at all intimidating, even to someone who is new to coding. The games it creates are cute and fun!
Very easy for kids to understand
