An amazing practice tool and a resource we will be using often are the individual Essential Elements for Band method books. This book contains information on how to play the instrument, how to read and understand music notation, and a lot of great music for practicing! I will provide printouts from this book, but I highly recommend you and your child look through this book together and print/view the materials!
