Open coding environments provide many opportunities for students to engage in storytelling and to develop reading and writing skills. Coding required close attention to blocks chosen and their order. Â Students immediately see the consequences if the blocks are out of order. Writing about code is a meaningful strategy to engage in procedural writing, again with immediate consequences if steps are missing or in an incorrect order.
