How to start reading as a beginner?

Start watching movies, TV shows and anime with Japanese subtitles. Read the subtitles and try to understand them. Reading alongside audio is easy compared to raw reading practice, so that's a good way to start, and that's how I started too. The audio should guide you as you read.

Then try manga and eventually novels. Use a popup dictionary (like Rikaitan) to look up unknown words.
