You learn the readings by vocabulary. It’s pointless learning all the readings.
Kanji has many readings and it’s reading rely on context.
For example, five ‘日’ in below sentence.
”’3月1日は日曜日で祝日、晴れの日でした”’
However, each ‘日’ reading is different.
1日→ついたち(tsuitachi)
日曜日→にちようび(nichiyoubi)
祝日→しゅくじつ(shukujitsu)
晴れの日→はれのひ(harenohi)
As TACkleBr says, learning kanji reading by vocabulary is best way to learn japanese.
Yes, eventually you should know all of the readings if you want to be fluent. For now, just take your time. It’ll get easier as you go.
Just learn hiragana and katakana first. Then start learning vocabulary and kanji
