This free web site has been designed to help primary school teachers to develop their use of Scratch computer coding. While it uses an early Scratch version, it is nonetheless still very much in line with current MIT pedagogical thinking regarding the combining of Computing skills, creativity, and cross-curricular teaching and learning.
The ideas behind Literacy from Scratch have given rise to some other developments including a delightful series of visual files exploring Computational Thinking in the Stories for Children section.
Following the early success of Literacy from Scratch, especially with teacher trainers, (see Book Review and Further Reading ) we decided to develop a companion free web site ( Literacy From Python ) for secondary teachers faced with developing the use of Python in their schools.
