    Thank you so much. This is absolutely fascinating. The advise 
is IMO excellent and is a summary of the advice found on this and 
SKCC for those learning. It is also what I have discovered for 
myself. I never had an easy time learning to read. Could always 
send well. After some sixty years I am still practicing my 
reading. Now I find all this stuff was advised by Candler a 
century or more ago.
    Thank you so much and I think this article should be 
recommended to anyone learning code.
