That's an excellent way to reinforce what you've learned, but is it really effective for acquiring new kanji? And isn't reading merely a form of passive learning (as opposed to actively writing new characters)?

Although reading is certainly a GREAT thing to do, I don't think it's going to improve my ability to write kanji very much. I'm looking for more of a text book suggestion. Sorry I wasn't specific enough with my OP. Thanks for your input.

This.
If you aren't forced to learn it at work then book etc are a good way to go.
You can get plenty of novels aimed at younger kids which starts off with furigana on the first use of a kanji but not after that.
