I don't have any good readings but my best word of advice is "subdivide"
So for instance if you start with something easier like 5/8
How many ways can you get to 5?
2+3=5
3+2=5
then harder ones like
1+4=5
4+1=5
etc.
Lets take 2+3 as you count to 5 place the bass drum one count 1 for all. Then add the snare drum on the count. So in this case snare drum on beat 3.
so it's counted
(1 - 2)(1 - 2- 3)

Easier to explain when I teach personally lol But that's how I explain it. All about accents and subdividing.
