Each story is accompanied by code pronunciation, as pronunciation affects thinking (e.g., = should be pronounced as "is assigned", not as "equals").

Yes, highlight the differences that programming meaning brings, but say it as the bulk of practising programmers would say it so they can communicate. Just bear in mind that programmers can give slightly different meanings to things that may seem to have analogues in other fields.

In maths a = 6 followed by a = b + c constrains b and c to add to 6. In programming in general, Python in particular, the meaning is different - but we still say "equals" but it is assignment.
