  • This is not for the average 6 - 10 year old as advertised

    I intended for my middle school grandchild to begin to learn how to code. While Scratch seems like a good starting point this is NOT a self study book. It definitely requires an adult support person to decode the explanations of the author. Luckily I am a retired systems professional so I have a base that many grandparents may not have, but it clearly will require you to understand the instructions and then translate them into age appropriate instructions.
    Fine print.... Scratch does not work with Internet Explorer. This is mentioned on page 6 of the book. This information should have been provided in a "system requirements" section.

  • Really fun and easy coding scratch book!

    this is a really good book and you should buy/borrow it on kindle or computer.im just 8 years old and i love this book.if you like this book too, i would recommend you also read other scratch books or read a book that telles you about python .the auther wrote the python book too.if your not sure if you want to buy this book, i would recommend this book to people who like these book(s):python books, JavaScript books or other books.i also would recommend this book to kids 8~12.if your child is smaller than 8, i would recommend a website close to this one named Scratch.Jr witch is just like scratch but not as complicated so it may be hard to make games, but it still will be very fun.why i know that?its because i have played on it on the ipad when i was about 4-6 years old.even though the book was a little long, i still enjoyed reading (and playing) it.
    thank you for reading my review
    (sorry , it was a little long)

  • cool coding

    I have received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. This was a fun introduction to get kids to start coding their own games. It gives simple intructions on how to go about this. I have to say that even I learned a couple of things from this book and it got me into thinking about other things I would like to read about coding. It was a short read.

    Scratch is a great way for anyone, not just kids, to learn programming skills. It's simple and well thought out so perfect for beginners. This book walks you through programming 10 different games step by step. Great explanations and the graphics are super helpful.

  • This left me confused

    I did not use this with a child. - gave it to my 11 year old granddaughter who was not interested. So I read it myself ( I am 79) and found it very confusing. It did not instill in me any desire to learn coding. In fact It had the opposite effect. Sentences like "Oh, I almost forgot! You probably would like to see what a variable looks like on the state wouldn't you?" Well, No.

    I once started a coding class on line and it was great- very easy and I could understand where it was going and the logic of it, even though I didn't stick with it. Think on line is a better way to learn coding.

  • Well written and oranized into to Scratch coding for kids

    This is a well written boom for teaching kids to code in Scratch. It is easy to read and follow for our child, who is a late elementary age. There are lots of pictures and graphics to help. He did not find any obvious errors in the instructions. Chapters are broken into smaller sub-categories that help keep kids motivated and give good stopping points for kids to start and stop the lessons. The book tells how to get Scratch and provides a gradual introduction to concepts of Scratch coding, leading to coding fun games.

  • Great for kids of any age!

    I received this book to review and I wasn't sure what to expect as I've never heard of Scratch, but I was immediately taken in by the author's writing. His explanations and descriptions didn't make me feel intimated but rather I felt encouraged to give it a try. Yes, it's for kids, but even as an adult, I very much enjoyed working through the lessons and while my 4 year old is a bit young for the concepts, he did help me pick out Sprites and gave me some creative ideas for creating my game. Overall, I thought the book was very well written and not just suitable for kids, but for beginner interested in learning more about Scratch.

  • Good Scratch Intro

    This is a good intro to coding book for the language Scratch. This is a basic language that is graphically based for all the basic constructs. The language itself is free to use from MIT and comes with all the graphics and features you'll need to do all the program examples in the book. The programs are basic but are still simple fun that kids will grab on to and enjoy. This is a good book for 8yrs old and up.
