What steps would you give the person for reading, studying, learning the scriptures?
How would you instruct them to rightly divide the scriptures?
Would you encourage the use of Bible Studies?
Would you just put them through a discipleship class?
Where would you tell them to start? NT or OT?
Thanks for your answers!

A discipleship class is good start.
I'd encourage them to read the entire Bible and not to get discouraged by things they don't understand. Be prepared to answer lots of questions and give the newbie tools to search God's word for himself ie: a concordance, different Bible translations, maybe a Bible dictionary.
Be open to being used of God in helping them while they cut their teeth, learn to crawl, and walk, and encouraging them to never give up. Be a mentor and disciple them.
