Around the age of 10, I would switch them away from drag and drop languages to Python or Lua if they were inclined through modifying simple games and modifying Minetest mods.
Reading and writing is an important precondition of course. So is logical thinking and having fun with puzzles.
Do you have experience with https://github.com/codecombat/codecombat and the service based on it? What I found good is that they were available in German.
So the local language matters a lot, because most children cannot do enough English at 10 years.
Anyone experiences or even research about board games that should prepare for coding, like https://www.thinkfun.com/type/coding-games/
