Scratch has a very comprehensive wiki[1], which contains detailed explanations of even the most basic of concepts, along with example code. Now it also has built-in tutorials.
However, the real strength of Scratch is that it doesn't need any documentation or instruction. A sufficiently curious mind can learn it simply by clicking around and trying things out. The blocks only click together in valid combinations (which you can infer from the shape of the blocks), so it's literally impossible to create a syntax error.

- scotty79 5y agoRight. But when I'm in Scratch the wiki is nowhere to be found. Everything needs documentation for a kid. Even a fork or a spoon. Without ample examples of what you can do with the things you are just touching you make way slower progress and require much more motivation.
- kyawzazaw 5y agoJust curious who would be reading that documentation. The kid?
- scotty79 5y agoYeah. I as a kid read a lot. Of things you might call a documentation. If it's human friendly and kid friendly with examples, pictures and heck, even a draggable blocks you can drag into your project kids would be all over it. Because it would be contextual. Pertaining to the thing they try to understand at the moment. Scratch is not designed for a lonely bored kid. It's designed for a kid in the classroom following instructions.
