For somebody new to it I definitely wouldn't recommend doing it the way I am. Starting at page one.
I think the Gospel of John would be good it starts out almost like a poem.
I think some sort of guidebook to where they can do a survey of the high points would be helpful.
However I never got anywhere in understanding the Bible until I joined a Bible study group led by somebody knowledgeable about it. Then it started to make sense and came alive as something really meaningful.
A study group would be my first recommendation - you need to have someone to talk with about what you are reading. And I think Mark and Genesis are good starts - giving a good accounting of the creation and God's plan and Mark being the first gospel written and fairly easy to read.
