Sidgwick's First Greek Writer useful with what?

I feel that to really learn Greek, I need to absorb the language with an active component. I’ve collected several greek texts. Some, like Crosby and Schaeffer, seem to have adequate exercises and a key, though I think that text doesn’t have enough reading practice. Conversely, several otherwise excellent texts are lacking in greek writing exercises with an answer key.

I’ve actually suggested and reviewed several materials in other threads. Even suggested some good Greek Anthologies for beginners and a couple of composition books with an answer key that are far more user friendly than Sidgwick.

Long stoy short. I recommend a combination of Zuntz’s Griechischer Lerhrgang and the italian edition of Athenaze.
