As students begin preparing new music for exams and other, it is important to read and learn in the early stages with precision. Aim to avoid misteaks (!) in notes, rhythm and fingering from the start, by playing at as slow a tempo as necessary to avoid error.
Divide your music into sections, then phrases, for easier practice segments. Then, start at different places each time you practice. Don't always begin at the beginning, and play through to the end. Mix those sections up, and hit the most difficult spots first.
On the topic of precision in early learning, once a note or fingering mistake occurs, it can become a regular habit, no matter how hard you work to correct it!
