a good thing to remember is that, whether or not plato is actually prescribing the society he lays out, his overall goal is assess individual morality

You should know that historically it wasn't considered his greatest work. This idea that The Republic is Plato's great masterpiece is a modern invention.

This + symposium would be a good precursor. As said it's extremely easy to afford only a cursory reading to plato and feel like you have fully understood the text. Having some practice at close reading the dialogical format will only enhance your first reading of Republic.
