I’m still in the planning stage and deciding if it will be Elixir, and I received good feedback about it here. I haven’t thought of resources yet, because it will be a complete beginner intro to programming and I will do the teaching in person, side by side. Also I’ll have to do the lectures in spanish. I will prepare soon a program of the course to draw an educational path into programming, from the very very beginning. I have many books and most are languages manuals, so I will pick examples out of them, from Programming Elixir and also the Elixir guides, but I think I really have to adapt my teaching to her learning needs and gradually improve the technical level. I will try to organize all the material I will produce, maybe at the end of this experience it could be useful for others too. Thank you for the question, it is a subject that deserves some more thinking.
