Coding Training Proposal for Kindergarten

Computational thinking in recent years has been universally defined as the ”new English”, or basic knowledge necessary for everyone. As English, is important to include it as early as possible in teaching programs, right from preschool. This need is so felt as to make it, for example, compulsory in kindergarten in Italy since 2022. Obviously, this implies the use of simple tools that do not provide reading and writing skills. This work proposes a learning program which could be carried out precisely during the three years of kindergarten, from 3 to 6 years of age, and prepares children for coding, a teaching subject that has already been proposed in Italy for primary school since a few years.
