What worked for me was:
1. Learn all Hiragana and Katakana as you have suggested
2. Learn some basic Kanji
3. Have a good dictionary handy and start reading children Manga, note I said Children, something like Doraemon, because a lot of its Kanji is accompanied with Hiragana to suggest its pronounciation
4. Move on to children novel after and then subsequently, pop-magazine (i went with car magazine, like "Option"
