What books/articles/courses to learn PC basics for a 9 year old nephew?

Good afternoon.
My nephew lives in the region 300 km from Moscow.
We communicate with him only by mail - we see each other 4-5 times a year.
He has a laptop and a desire to learn computer.
What literature / articles / courses can you recommend for him, for self-development _in Russian_ on the following topics:
1. computer device (components and functionality)
2. basics of networks (client / server, OSI model, IP addresses, ...)
3. the basics of working in Windows
4. the basics of working with MS Office
5. the basics of programming
How is it generally recommended to start mastering IT for schoolchildren 9-10 years old?
There is an idea to throw several different "seeds" in different areas in order to identify the direction of interests and subsequently work out in more detail.
ps last month, on my recommendation, he began to master fast typing in "Keyboard Solo".
I would like to bring him materials in a week, which he can read before my next visit.

Give him a Stamina, it's more fun than a keyboard solo.
Basics of html
Let him learn to make websites in html and in the engine, for example google sites
use goodle docks to track something together
English - show him google translate, let him learn common words in addition to the school course. To know not only left/right/fire but also shutdown, press any key to continue, out of memory, etc.

You can show specific programs and he will master them himself.
What exactly is useful is unknown, so you can give everything in a row ...
1. Show how to make presentations using one example - then he will figure it out.
2. Install photoshop or something from free software - show that there are many tools and offer to try something. There will be a lot of skills)
3. Install audio and video editors, give a database of various files - show how to link and how to cut - then he will figure it out.
4. Show how to enter VBA in Excel, how to record macros, how to view macro code - will master.
5. Drawing flowcharts is also a useful thing.
6. Various text formatting settings in the Word.
7.tryr.codeschool.com _- a course in R, and English will improve and learn to write a little bit in R
8. There are also other courses, you can choose what is closer to you - https://www.codeschool.com/courses )
9. I would also like to tighten up algorithms and logic - but I can't remember any things right off the bat...
10. Javarush.ru still remembered. It seems to fit the task)
11. ABC Pascal for learning Pascal, more pleasant than turbo and others ...
12. I was told that children learn Python well enough quickly ...
Best of all, learning goes on specific tasks and tools, and everything for a child new and he does not know that VBA is more difficult than making presentations, so he will master everything he wants)
Practice is our everything!
