Would anyone know of an English, practical sefer on the halachos of Birchos Krias Shema and the rest of tefila (i.e. Shmoneh Esrei , etc. ? )

Artscroll has a very good Kitzur Shulchan Aruch over three volumes for the basic halacha, but it is hard to ready from cover to cover, and still quite complex. Some people have a practice to read a few pages a day until they cover the whole sefer - then start again - it is an excellent way to have a general overview of all practical laws and know where to look deeper. Also exists on the iPad now.

The Laws of Daily Living by R Simcha Bunim Cohen is likely closer to what you are looking for. I have read all his Shabbat halacha books and he writes in a practical and easy to understand style. Check the table of contents though (at link above) as he stops at psukei dezimra in volume 1 and volume 2 is not out yet.

So it looks like your best bet for a simple halacha book covering all basic laws is Shaarei Halachah by R Zeev Greenwald or here
