This is a possible approach: 1. Install a Scheme interpreter (Gambit Scheme, Chicken Scheme, DrRacket ...) and a editor that is able to highlight Scheme (Sublime Text 2, Notepad++ ...). 2. Read a chapter of the book, do the exercises. If in trouble, Google is your friend. 3. Repeat 2 til the end of the book. Optionally, you can watch the video lectures of the authors (recorded in the '80s). Another good source - video lectures for a SICP course by Brian Harvey (available on Youtube).
