Prepare each lesson carefully and prayerfully so the children will understand
and enjoy it and so you will have the guidance of the Spirit.
Teach lessons in order, except for lessons 45 and 46 (Easter and Christmas). If any of the children in your class will be baptized during the year, you may want to teach lessons 12 and 13, which are on baptism and confirmation, before the first child in your class is baptized. (For my CTR 7 class, I teach lessons 12 and 13 the first 2 Sundays of the year.)
DO NOT read the lesson to the children. They will respond better if you present it in your own words. Bear a brief, personal testimony often so that class members will be more likely to hear and respond to the gospel message with the Spirit.

For the CTR 7 class, we teach lesson 11 and 12 at the beginning of the year. (that is why they are out of order)
