Introduce your first grader to the world of computer science with Smart Start: Beginning Coding Stories and Activities. This engaging activity book teaches important coding concepts through stories and practice activities, aligning with the K-12 Computer Science Framework to develop a strong foundation in computer science, including computational thinking, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Each full-color activity book is divided into eight themed units, focusing on one coding concept. The book includes coding stories with audio read-aloud features, concept pages connecting coding to real-world situations, practice activities reinforcing coding rules, review pages for each concept, coding projects with print-based games and puzzles, and a mini coding handbook with key terms. By practicing algorithms, decomposition, sequencing, and pattern recognition, early learners become critical thinkers. They also explore programming language concepts like debugging and loops, developing skills to identify and correct mistakes and save time by automating repetitive tasks. The activities also help children practice readiness skills such as print awareness, visual discrimination, following directions, and fine-motor skills. With an answer key included, this 128-page non-reproducible softcover workbook is ideal for first-grade students.
