Does my kid need a tablet or computer for these workbooks?
Nope — that's the whole point of Code Crew. The print book is paper-only. The tablet PDF and web companion exist for families who want a digital option, but the print edition is fully self-contained.
What ages is Code Crew — Grade 3 for?
Designed for ages 8–10 (Grade 3). Strong Grade 2 readers can do most of it; younger Grade 4 students will breeze through Weeks 1–4 and need to slow down on the capstone.
Are these aligned to the CSTA standards?
We introduce concepts from the CSTA K–12 CS Standards (Levels 1A and 1B). We don't claim official endorsement — we just publish the crosswalk in every book so teachers can show their administration where each lesson maps.
How long does each lesson take?
15–25 minutes a day, five days a week, for twelve weeks. Saturdays have an optional bonus 'Crew Quest' page.
How does the web workbook actually work?
It's an interactive 12-week quiz. Each day shows kid-friendly exercises (drag-to-reorder, click-to-toggle, finger-drawing). The Submit & Continue button auto-grades the scoreable puzzles and gives instant pink/green feedback before advancing to the next day. Open-ended exercises (drawing, journals) are saved with a grown-up signoff to advance. Works on iPad, Android, desktop.
Is the web version really free for the first 4 weeks?
Yes. No login, no email, no card. We'd rather you try the actual content than read a sales page. Weeks 5–12 are paywalled.
I bought the print book on Amazon — can I get web access too?
Yes, eventually. We're working on a print-included unlock code that'll go in the back of the book. For now, email us your Amazon order number at [email protected] and we'll send a discount code for the web subscription.
Will there be a Grade 4? Grade 5? K–1?
Grade 4 is in production for Q3 2026. The newsletter is the only place we announce ship dates.
Can I use this in my classroom?
Yes. The classroom site license ($129/yr for 30 students) gives every student web access plus a printable PDF master. Email [email protected].
Refund policy?
30 days, no questions asked, on tablet PDF and web subscriptions. (We can't refund the print book — that's Amazon's policy, not ours.)
