You can read かな!
You've recognised all 46. That's the hardest first step — done. Now try real N5 questions (every kanji shows furigana, so your かな does the work).
FULL CHART — ひらがな
Once both charts feel comfortable, the next steps are dakuten (が, ぱ…) and small combos (きゃ, しゅ…) — you'll pick those up naturally inside the N5 quizzes.
