As teaching reading is a non-negotiable in any primary classroom, why not utilise your literacy time to introduce coding ideas and concepts...while enjoying a great story! Each of these books has is written as a story but with a "teacher's guide" at the back of the book to make the coding links. They are also accompanied by great websites full of additional resources: If I Were A Wizard , Hello Ruby Both books are available to buy online at Amazon.

To introduce students to concepts of computer science and computational thinking, it's strongly suggested that a range of "unplugged" activities are utilised. Vocab such as algorithms, conditionals, debugging and more are introduced in a hands on manner before students use digital coding programs (Scratch etc.)
