Learn the readings with words(and sentences whenever possible!). Some of them are upper level, so don't don't need to learn all of them at once, but I don't think a beginner would be able to tell a common reading from a less common one...
For 正 you could learn
正月 しょうがつ January
正確 せいかく accurate
正しい ただしい correct
But, basically if you're using a textbook, it should have vocab and examples for the kanji... if it doesn't, you can look them up on your own.
http://www.jlptstudy.com/ Has grammar sentences for JLPT3 and 4, and they'll be using kanji for those levels. They also have words for each kanji.
