One piece of software that i have found extremely usefull  in teaching my
son how to use a computer (He is 6 yrs old) is Gcompris. It has
games/modules for all levels from a complete computer noob that will help
them learn then Keyboard and Mouse use, but also Alplhabets and numbers and
simple math and logic and thinking games.

Try it.
