Switched on Computing: Learn to Code is an exciting new addition to the Switched on family.
Written for the non-specialist teacher, it provides step-by-step guidance to give all teachers the confidence to teach coding at Key Stage 2. Linked to Switched on Computing, the fun and engaging units provide additional coding practice, as well as open-ended activities to stretch and challenge more able pupils. They can be used as standalone books to practice coding, or used to consolidate knowledge and skills from Switched on Computing.
There are four pupil books in the series, each one contains twelve units, two per half term. Take a look at the contents list to see the software covered
Progression is embedded within each book and additional challenges are included to ensure that more able pupils are stretched. Each outcome is visualised so that activities are accessible for all pupils. The Teacher’s booklet provides clear step-by step guidance to running each activity with a free software overview providing teachers with all the information they need before getting started.
