what everyone said above is good. I would add this, start by doing little kids stuff first, say 13 and under. While you will have to listen to parents and coaches that do not have a clue, it is better to make a mistake there than on a HS field (that is IMHO).

As far as strike zone goes, if doing little kids (3rd, 4th, 5th grade) a strike zone of knees to armpits is best. Keep the strike zone consistant. To do that make sure you can see the plate and follow the pitch from the pitchers hand to the catchers mitt (or bat).

reading one page a night is a bit slow, maybe one section. For example in the MLB rule book read the pitcher section then another time read the runner section. Read them multiple times. Make sure you read the drfinitions as it all starts there.

Find someone that will take time to mentor you. That will come to your games and watch you. Also read these boards. If someone post a queston or a play (case), grab your rule book and look it up.

Be patient when you get going. You will make mistakes, have people yell at you and there will be days you will wonder why you are doing this. But the main thing is have fun. If you are not having fun, I do not care how good you are, you will not last long at this.
