Gary,
   I asked similar questions here also.  There are some really fine
school workbooks that teach the kanji.  Unfortunately, they seem to be
difficult to get ahold of.  I finally found a few of them that were
discards from primary school.  They have one page per kanji and go into
the various readings, show pictures, and compounds as well.  They are
NOT available for sale.  What happens is that schoolage kids are issued
them as part of their education and then when the year is over they can
discard them or whatever.  What I've seen in bookstores is definitely
not as good and tend to be rather expensive.  I wish I could help you
more.
