For grammar drills, Wheelock's is always a good bet. The workbook as well if you want the extra practice. On top of this, Groton's 38 Latin stories corresponds to the Wheelock's chapters relatively well, and provides more reinforcement of the respective chapters grammar points. As an alternative to Wheelock's, there is Moreland's An Intensive Latin Course.

Most beginning prose translation classes in Latin tend to go with either Caesar or Cicero. You may want to pick up a reader with running vocabulary on the right.

If you're up for it, there is an excellent resource on Cicero's pro archia, which helps you diagram the sentences and better understand Cicero's style. I have had other students tell me that this process was immensely helpful:

There is also this Cicero reader:

I'm a huge fan of Cicero and I had to use these books when I was doing him:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cicero-Oratio%2522-Syntactic-Companion-Commentary/dp/0865164398/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396123234&sr=8-1&keywords=pro+archia+poeta+oratio

the second one isn't needed but can certainly help, the first one is solid, lots of vocab (each word is given on the left page, each time it's used an asterisk goes to it, 5 asterisks and he stops presenting the word).
The speech itself isn't actually that great in English but for me the Latin was great fun and it's short so you can do it all in no time at all.
