I do something similar and have a skill level between JLPT 2 and 1. Reading textbooks until you can just handle most everything you come across is unrealistic, not to mention boring and limited in its scope. The only way you'll learn to read is by reading.

I'm not sure if you remember a series of books called Great Illustrated Classics. They were basically classic novels rewritten in simple English and intended for grades 3 to 8. There's a similar series in Japanese (minus the illustrations) that simplifies classics from H.G Wells and other authors and is intended for pre-high school reading. I don't use it for kanji practice (because it provides furigana) but the books definitely test your reading comprehension and vocabulary.
