Jo-Jo
Answer
i taught my younger brother to ride a bike by having my parents buy him a small tricycle. Then once he/she gets that have him/her move onto a bike with removable training wheels. Help him get on and hold onto him and push a little so he/she knows that you are supporting him/her. Then teach the child how to start moving on a bike by herself and once you are sure that the kid knows how to ride start letting go or giving them a push and have them ride by themselves. Later, once they are proficient remove the training wheels and start supporting them a little again and soon they will be riding their bike. (always remember to have them wear a helmet)
Sorry if I couldn't be a little clearer. Look at these websites for help:

EDIT:
As Ralph said, teach them the brakes and other important fundamentals they need to learn as riding in a straight line then how to turn slow down and get on the bike. Also teach them proper safety rules(especially if they are going to ride the bike on the street) You will need to supervise them to when they ride until they get older.
EDIT 2:
As others are saying, lowering the seat and adjusting the pedals is a very good idea too. As they gradually get better, adjust the seat and pedals to correspond with their improvement.
