Super easy introduction to Scratch. We opened the book and started programming right away. I think I could also give my kids the book and allow them to use it independently as well. Would recommend as an intro book for Scratch programming. Directions are clear and concise. Teaches a few programming "vocabulary" words such as: What are variables, loops, if-then statements, scripts, operators, etc.
This book includes four programs to write: Fishball, Ghost Hunt, Rapid Reaction, and Melon Bounce
All of these are simple games.
At the end of each program there is a "Show you know" section - a quiz for kids to review what they have learned. The solutions are found in the back of the book.
What I like about this is that Scratch is pretty easy to learn. So once my kids got the fundamentals down, they "played" on Scratch for a while. I'd much rather my kids "play" with programming and learn something in the process, wouldn't you? Yeah.
