Your eye needs practice to read automatically.
Provided below are "The Art Of War" by Sun Tzu and "The Sign Of The
Four" by Conan Doyle. It will be much easier to learn if you print
out the PDFs and read them through a few times a day until you can
see the words automatically. Do a little writing but not too much
so as to avoid developing bad habits. Once your eye knows what the
words look like your hand will soon learn to write the words rather
than draw the letters. You will be able to learn this system more
easily if you print these PDF files out!
Generally upon the first usage of a proper name or any strange word
write it in normal Probaway Script. Then put in that words vowels
lightly and underline the word. On later usage of the word just
write it out in normal Probaway Script.
