Buy these books:

Manhattan GMAT Sentence Correction Guide, 4th Edition
PowerScore Critical Reasoning Bible
Kaplan GMAT Verbal Workbook
Official Guide for GMAT Review, 12th Edition
Official Guide for GMAT Verbal Review, 1st Edition

Download the BTG flashcards:

Check out the free BTG resources:

I'd also suggest taking advantage of a free Grockit trial membership, since you'll get access to many Verbal questions in our Qbank for free.

Start with the Official guides for Verbal, then work out of the other books. I'd try to do a little from each book, instead of doing them in sequence.

If you're on sites like BTG, you're already on the right path! :-)
