τήμερον ἐχρόνιζον μανθάνειν φράσεις ἐχούσας τὴν λέξιν «ἄν» χρωμένας τὴν αὐτὴν βίβλον.

Correct ...

“τήμερον ἀνέγνων μόνον μίαν φράσιν τῷ Λυσίᾳ γεγραμμένην.”

“ἔμαθον φράσεις ἐχούσας τὴν λέξιν «ἄν» χρώμενος τῇ Ρυσσελλι βίβλῳ.”

Good corrections. But now:
“τήμερον ἐχρόνιζον μανθάνειν φράσεις ἐχούσας τὴν λέξιν «ἄν» χρωμένας τὴν αὐτὴν βίβλον.”
Not sure what you mean by ἐχρόνιζον μανθάνειν. “I spent time learning” could be χρόνον διέτριβον μανθάνων.
χρωμένας in agreement with φράσεις?!
τὴν αὐτὴν βίβλον. Wrong case. You had it right in your previous.

In your response to John, you could have improved ἐν τῇ ὑπὸ Ἡροδότου γεγραμμένῃ βίβλῳ to ἐν τῇ Ἡροδότῳ γεγραμμένῃ βίβλῳ, now that you know that dative of agent is preferred to υπο+gen. with perfect passive.
And πέρι should be περὶ. As I wrote you before, the accent is πέρι only when the preposition follows its noun, which is not often; similarly with all other two-syllable prepositions, ἀπό, ἐπί, διά, παρά, κατά, etc.
βουλόμενος NB accent.

“ἔγραψα πέρι τῶν ἐτῶν ἐπεὶ Οὐάσσιγγτον ἦγε ταῖς συσταθείσαις πολέσι”
ἄγω lead (someone somewhere) takes acc., ἄρχω rule, govern, usually takes gen. (be ruler/leader of).
To say “the years when …” you wouldn’t use επει but ἐν οἶς or διὰ ὧν.

χρόνον μανθάνων χρώμενος τῇ τῇ Ρυσσελλι γεγραμμένῃ βίβλῳ διατρίψας, ἀνέγνως μέρος τῆς τῷ Στράβωνι γεγραμμένης βίβλου ὣς ἄνεσιν.

Sorry daivid this just won't do. You haven't taken in what I just told you again about περί, nor what I just told you aboυτ αγω. I guess it was all too much, but I'm really not telling you much that you should need telling. And now you've reverted to ανεγνως which I thought you were finally cured of. Your efforts to consolidate and expand your proficiency are somehow not working, and I can't find a solution.
