Code for Teens: A Review

My house is brimming with teen boys who love everything tech. I love to see them using the computer for something other than Minecraft. (I know, I know, it can be educational too.) So when I saw Code for Teens written by a homeschool dad to homeschooled kids, I bought it right away, knowing that someone in my house was likely to devour it! And they sure did.

Let me tell you about it.

Code for Teens Fills a Gap in the Homeschool Market

  • programming is a skill teens want to learn
  • programming is a skill most homeschool parents cannot teach
  • classes in coding can run hundreds of dollars
  • Code for Teens is affordable for everyone
  • teaches programming in a flexible, fits-in-your-schedule style

Features of Code for Teens

This programming book is highly engaging and beautiful to look through. In color with fun illustrations, this book is user-friendly for middle school and above.

Here’s what you should know:

  • this book teaches the foundational knowledge needed to understand JavaScript, the world’s most commonly used coding language
  • it doesn’t just spit out tons of information – the author is a former teacher and a homeschool dad, so he makes sure to include reinforcement as you go to retain what you’ve learned
  • includes quizzes, drills, review questions, and simple do-it-yourself projects
  • entertaining and educational format – your teens will never say this is a dry, boring textbook!
  • answers to quizzes and drills in the back of the book
  • encourages your child to think through problems and solutions like an engineer
  • written in a way that anyone with a 6th grade reading level could use
  • consistently hands-on and using skills in practical activities
  • written in a pace that naturally fits teen’s learning
  • each chapter includes review section and drills
  • includes a glossary of frequently used words
  • illustrated and in color

My twelve year old has been working through this book since I bought it last month. He can work for hours on it. And I am happy knowing he’s learning a valuable skill for today’s economy that I could not personally teach him.

If you have teens in your homeschool who would like to learn programming, we highly recommend Code for Teens.
