Kodable Basics is used in over 50% of US elementary schools to help kids learn to code through fun, self-paced activities!
Great for pre-readers and readers alike, our game-based learning approach to coding education will have your child using creativity and critical thinking skills to solve mazes - all while having fun.
Watch as your child explores the Kodable universe one lesson at a time! Your kids can play and code their own games, explore unlimited creativity activities, take part in exclusive seasonal events, and more, all while building foundational computer science skills.
WHAT THEY LEARN
Kodable Basic features age-appropriate games and activities that transition your kids from learning how to think like a programmer all the way to writing real code using our custom, built-for-kids coding interface!
Concepts learned through the Kodable Basics include:
• Sequence/ Order of operations
• Algorithmic operations
• Conditional logic statements
• Syntax
• Variables including Strings, Integers, and Arrays
• Object Oriented Programming
• Classes and Subclasses
• Properties
• Methods
EVEN MORE FOR TEACHERS (Common Core + CSTA Standards-Aligned)
Kodable Basics for Teachers is the only complete K-5 curriculum taking students from learning to think like a programmer in Kindergarten to writing REAL JavaScript by 5th grade. No computer science knowledge required of teachers! It includes -
• Over 80 scripted, grab & go lesson plans
• Complete Scope and Sequence for each grade
• Hundreds of on-screen activities for students
• Roster Upload, Google Classroom, and Clever Login Integration
WHY CODE WITH KODABLE BASICS?
Even before your children can pronounce the word "algorithm" they have an astounding ability to learn how to use them. Today's best programmers fell in love with coding at a young age by experimenting with the concepts taught in Kodable Basics. Understanding computer science empowers your child for the jobs of tomorrow, and expands your child's mind to solve problems today in more intelligent ways.
Students also learn incredibly important ‘soft skills’ such as
• Problem solving skills
• Higher level thinking skills
• Collaboration skills
• Communication skills
• Critical thinking skills
WHAT IS KODABLE EDUCATION?
Kodable Education offers a range of apps that allow your child to grow their skill and love of coding throughout their most formative years. With apps that help students transition from block-based to text coding, students can continue learning and growing with Kodable Education all throughout elementary school.

It's official! We ❤️ Kodable! I have a 7-year-old boy who's not into sports or lego or music, so I had a real problem helping find 'his thing'. Looking at his strengths (he's reserved, thinks logically, and can do math like no one's business) brought me to Kodable.com, a website full of fun puzzles, cute characters, and challenges for every level!
Coding is basically working out a problem, and that starts in the brain, but kids love to play! Kodable brings you the best of both worlds, solving problems while playing games! Creating Fuzz characters is particularly gratifying: when we print them out for his wall, he sees the lines of code that his creation equates to. While he doesn't have to *write* the Javascript code, he gets to read it every morning as he gets dressed 😉
I cannot wait to see where he goes with this tool. It's only been a month, and he's gotten so much enjoyment from it, already we are seeing his self-esteem go up, how lovely is that?!
Whether your child has a natural ability to code or is like me and has to really work for it, Kodable is a super easy way to explore this really useful skill. Try the 7-day trial period, it gives you a real taste of the content. The annual membership subscription was a no-brainer for this family, if every kid's 'thing' was as reasonably priced, us parents would have a lot more disposable income 😉
I honestly was amazed at how much he loves it. He asks all the time for 'Kodable time' and with my laptop in the kitchen, it's easy for me to supervise and help, and I have zero problem with him working on his 'thing': it's in the blood (we are both in IT), it's stretching a hungry little brain, and it makes him happy (huzzah!)
Even if this boy of ours never writes a line of code in his life, Kodable allows him to face a problem, break it down step by step, and (critically) test it before trying to earn the reward, a star on a chart. The fact that you can test each step means things don't overwhelm, and that is phenomenal. It allows him takes each challenge as it comes, and if he struggles (and when I struggle to help him!), Kodable has plenty of simple instructional videos. Wish our generation had had Kodable, it's wonderful!
