## Two Types of Blocks

Scratch Blocks brings together two different programming "grammars" that the MIT Scratch Team has designed and continued to refine over the past decade. The standard [Scratch](https://scratch.mit.edu) grammar uses blocks that snap together vertically, much like LEGO bricks. For our [ScratchJr](https://scratchjr.org) software, intended for younger children, we developed blocks that are labelled with icons rather than words, and snap together horizontally rather than vertically. We have found that the horizontal grammar is not only friendlier for beginning programmers but also better suited for devices with small screens.
*Only the horizontal grammar is available for preview at this time. The vertical grammar is in the design phase and will be added to the project over the next several months.*
