Etoys is a good "programming" environment for this age group. I know quite a few non-English children who loved the ability to model real world stuff in Etoys. They tend to think of Etoys as a modeling or "play acting" environment rather than a 'programming' environment.

It definitely introduces programming concepts to children in a gentle, unpretentious way.
