Most of my kids were already familiar with RPGs, so I just started them off
with 'The LightRaider Test'.   Once they've completed the Test, each child got
a LightRaider Handbook.

I would suggest having the kids study and memorize the wordrunes before
playing (10-15 minutes).  Tell them which wordrunes they should work on, and
divide them up into small teams of 2 or 3 so they can practice.  The first 2
modules are written to be 'the' study guide, so there would be no preparation
except for familiarizing yourself with the adventure (also the rules of the
game).

After the session is complete, you can talk with your kids about what they
learned.  Also ask them what they liked or did not like about the adventure.
If you wish to develop your own adventures (which is what I do), use their
input (at your discretion).

Good luck.  I hope that all goes well in your group! :)
