Sources to help RC

So I was really struggling with RC. It is something that you can be really good at if you are well read, because it really is for people who are excellent reader and you can only be that if you come from a household where reading was really emphasized. I don't so I really had to get to the core of the problem and instead of just PT and burning them, I decided I was going to relearn how to read. I did couple of things which really helped, so if you have some good amount of time in your hand before taking the LSAT, here are some suggestions.

1) How to read a book by Charles Van Doren ( quickly skim through it as it has some really good advice on reading different kinds of material, philosophy, science and literature)

2) I found this amazing free online course by Duke University on Arguments. It really gets into the guts of what arguments are, several exercises and resources to really get good at identifying them. This is extremely helpful for both LR and RC. Here is the link to the course https://www.coursera.org/learn/understanding-arguments

3) If you don't have time for the course, I would get the kindle version of this book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HDQ435C/ref=oh_aui_d_detailpage_o00_?ie=UTF8&psc=1

4) There is an amazing hour long webinar on RC by Sage Jimmy: https://7sage.com/webinar/jimmy-rc-qt/

Let me know what you guys think, and if you have any other suggestion.
