For most beginners, the hardest part is learning to read ledger lines, especially since most books that teach reading don't seem to spend much time on the subject.
I use this memonic:
"E's are 3's, B's are Balanced, A & C's are cool (peace man), G & D's mirror each other (actually they're inverse, but "mirror" is easier to say), as do the E's and F's..."

Practice from flute and clarinet books, the Voxman books, they're much better than guitar methods generally. *This is for later if you decide that you kinda like this music reading thing.

Great advice, especially about reading books intended for other instruments. Fiddle books are good too.
