I'm having a similar experience with my 8yo and his arduino. The coolest thing is to watch him google and struggle (and persevere) despite not being able to read all that well.

Its also bizarre to be with someone who can read and understand the word "instantiate" but is mystified by "pizza".



Rightfully so; Italian is cryptic!


Yeah, I suppose at a certain point the words that don't follow the rules are the most confusing. "Instantiate" follows the basic rules, "pizza" does not.
