And do you feel that that worked better than first an overall learning of the
complete set, then learning groups?  Again, speaking for a lack of experience,
it makes more sense to me to learn the alphabet before being given words to
read... but then it would harp on letters you're having problems with.

Actually, I'm thinking now...
i) Learn entire code set
ii) Get drilled using REAL words
iii) Drilling on random groups
