Ideally, he goes to Hebrew school for a good number of years, so that by the time he is old enough to lead part of the service, he learns what he is doinglng. He might also get special tutoring on Torah trope (the melodies used for chanting Torah). There is no "pre bar-mitzvah ritual," but I imagine a good percentage of all bar-mitzvah boys get taken to buy a new suit, get a decent haircut and other (to a boy) quite annoying things.
