This is the first post in a series about useful computer coding books that are age-appropriate for middle schoolers, as well as students with disabilities.
DK Publishers Beginners Ste-by-step Coding Course
This book helped me teach students computer science. I found it at the New York Public Library, browsing through the shelves in the YA section.
What I like is that it covered Scratch, which is what I did with some of the classes. Although there was not enough time/cognitive ability (on my part, anyway) to do python, javascript or html/css, nevertheless it was there for the learning (I actually do know html, and a small amount of css).
Add excellent graphics and simple explanations, and what more could a teacher want to use to teach students?
Dorling Kindersley (DK) graphics are the BEST!
