My daughter learned to program with Scratch. It is definitely the right approach for more visually-oriented kids. She created some cool (to her) games, and found it so compelling that she turned some of her friends onto Scratch, who also then created games. Playing each others games and looking at the "code" was an important aspect of the learning experience.
