Let’s Review

1. Scratch Jr is a free, introductory computer programming language that runs on

computers and tablets.
2. Scratch Jr helps even younger kids create their own playful animations, interactive

stories and dynamic games.
3. Users program in Scratch by dragging blocks from the block palette and attaching

them to other blocks like a jigsaw puzzle.
4. Scratch Jr allows to snap together graphical programming blocks to make

characters move, jump, dance, and sing.
5. Coding (or computer programming) is a new type of literacy. Just as writing helps

you organize your thinking and express your ideas, the same is true for coding.
