The point of studying the kanji that way is so when you do encounter them, they are familiar, you can write them in the correct stroke order, and you can dissect them to guess at their meaning in context. The only thing left is to find out the kun-yomi and on-yomi. Sort of like only having to add new information to an index card, instead of having to make a new index card and figuring out how to file it away. I could be wrong, but as you don't seem to be getting a response, I thought I'd throw in my two cents and try to help out. If you find something different, post it!

You say learn to read aloud 10,000 sentences, but how do I do that since I do not know the readings of the kanji, only the meaning? Do you suggest reading things where the kana is transposed next to the kanji? P.S. sorry if this is covered somewhere else already, I am new to this site and it has a massive amount of material to go over. Thanks!

The kanji-->keyword recall is slower, but that doesn't matter. It will take care of itself with reading. Besides, you're not going to be thinking in English anyhow; the keyword is just giving you a general feel for the core meaning of the kanji. I only went keyword–>kanji.

I got through 2000 earlier this year and found my keyword to kanji recall was good but kanji to keyword recognition was slower and less consistent.
