I'm going to go against the grain here and say go scoped from the get-go. Use a semi decent scope rather than a $50 turd that typically comes with .22 packages and it will be easier and more accurate than opens.
Getting it set up so the eye relief is right is also critically important.
That's been my experience teaching younger cousins to shoot anyway.
Since most rifles are scoped these days I figure they can learn opens latter if they need to.
