Coding for Beginners Using Scratch - IR

Loving this book!! I wanted to learn to code, but I really don’t have a mathematical brain. I thought well go back to the basics. Learn like you would teach a child. This book is exactly that!! I’m learning sooooo much!! I highly recommend this one.

My kid loves puzzles and this coding is very plug and play.

My 11 yr old daughter loves this! My husband and I love that she loves it! *smile*.

Grand kids liked it, but you do need to pay close attention.

Bien

Great resource for the classroom and the spiral bound spine is great.

My two sons went through the entire book and did everything. They loved it.

My 13 year old grandson requested this book. He has told me it's GREAT and easy to use.

I bought this Coding for Beginners: Using Scratch book for my daughter to help her start learning the basics of coding, and it’s been brilliant. The book explains concepts in a way that’s easy to understand, even for young beginners, and the step-by-step projects really keep her engaged. She loves being able to create simple programs and games, and I like that it builds her confidence without her feeling overwhelmed. The examples are fun and clear, and she can work through them at her own pace. It’s also helpful having explanations alongside the activities so she understands what she’s doing, not just copying steps. If you’re looking for a gentle but effective introduction to coding for a child, this book is a great choice, beginner-friendly, well structured, and enjoyable to work through.

The word size in the illustration diagrams are too small

She's already doing the second exercise and is in awe of what she can do with Scratch.

Along with their Beginner’s Guide to Python, this is yet another book where Usbourne show that 40+ years on from their 8bit programming books, they are still the masters of introducing programming in a clear and fun way. If you want to learn Scratch, this is an essential purchase!
