Although it would take awhile to make a whole study plan- here's a little help

1) read every day - NYtimes.com, Scientific American, The New Yorker, The Economist, etc... The average passage length on the GMAT is around 300-500 words so look for articles of about this length

2) Manhattan SC book

3) Powerscore CR book

4) Read every day! Reading is essential to the GMAT since every verbal section uses it.

Also, it's better to read some books about the verbal basics before you do a lot of practice problems
