For the very first belt, I made the requirement be that they read from flash cards, the notes BAG in whatever order I chose for their first belt. That way, I was somewhat assured that they could read those three notes on the staff. Then, about three belts on down, I did another staff reading exercise, but let them read it in order from the staff: F sharp, D, and E.
