• Sequencing that demonstrates how the order of things is important
• Pattern recognition that makes connections between similar problems

Programming language concepts such as:

• Debugging that shows how to look for mistakes and correct them
• Loops that can be used to save time by instructing a computer to repeat an action
• Conditionals that teach children how to create “if-then” statements

Children will also practice a variety of readiness skills such as print awareness, visual discrimination, following directions, and fine motor skills.
