Programs<http://htdp.org/>.
This online book was written by a group of professors from several different
universities. The preface should cover the gist of their approach which is
largely about teaching how to program properly in any language. They often
get NSF funding and hold free or nearly free workshops to walk teachers
through the book. I have used this with both middle school and high school
students with much success, using the first half of the book as my text for
an Intro to Programming class. The language they use is Scheme, but is a
great intro to Java.
