On the suggestion of a friend, I've begun investigating the possibility of 
offering courses to 3-6 year-olds on how to use a computer.  Part of the idea
is to expand upon the success of the IBM program Writing to Read which dev-\
eloped the idea that kids whose mechanical skills are still less developed 
and are unable to write properly can still acquire good spelling, writing and 
reading skills through the use of a computer keyboard.  

Can anyone suggest any publications that discuss an appropriate curriculum
for kids in this age group?  Please e-mail and post your responses to this
group.
