"As technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace, coding is increasingly becoming an invaluable skill for young learners. Scratch, which is the world's largest free coding community for kids, is designed to help students learn coding through fun activities such as making games and digital stories. This stimulating title features approachable text which explains how Scratch teaches coding by allowing users to drag and drop vibrant blocks to create exciting animations. The text is carefully written with middle elementary students in mind and is enhanced by sidebars, eye-catching photos, creative illustrations, and a helpful graphic organizer"--

This book serves as a comprehensive guide for primary and secondary school teachers introducing programming through Scratch, a block-based programming language. Authored by Phil Bagge, it combines practical instructional strategies and teaching methodologies grounded in research to facilitate effective learning. The book emphasizes key programming concepts such as sequences, loops, and variables, while advocating for pedagogical approaches like PRIMM, Parsons problems, and guided discovery. It aims to empower teachers with the tools to foster creativity and understanding in students, supporting their progression and engagement. Targeted at educators with varying levels of programming expertise, it provides resources and guidance to enhance classroom practice and improve student outcomes.

Code IT Primary Programming SeriesBasic computer coding is now among the most important skills a child can have for their future. There are many programming languages designed specifically for children to begin their studies, but the Scratch programming language, already recognised in schools around the world, is widely considered as the ideal place to begin programming in early education. The highly successful Code-It series is a comprehensive guide to teaching Scratch to children in a classroom setting. It is designed for the UK-based KS2 curriculum but can easily be used to supplement other programming courses for children between the ages of 7 and 11. There are four pupil workbooks designed to work in conjunction with the Code-It teacher handbook. They provide structure and resources for the children, including optional homework activities to extend to learning outside the classroom. Workbook 2 explains how to think, program and debug exciting programming projects such as Maths Quiz, Music Algorithm to Music Code, Slug Trail Game, Selection Investigation and Teach Your Computer To Do Maths . It also outlines how to use analytical computational thinking skills for algorithm design, algorithm evaluation, decomposition and generalisation; extend resilience and problem solving through the computational doing skills of converting algorithm into code and debugging; and consolidate sequence and repetition in programming whilst introducing selection and variable use.
