I kind of like the pattern of teaching it by similar letters like e, I, S,
H, 5, 4 and so on.  That was my first exposure to code in high school
although not having used code much my skills have fallen awy a bit, but I
still remember the letters I learned via that pattern.

a keyer

Jose,

Perhaps a good way to start would be to explain how the code is made up of
dots and dashes and then explain how hams usually refer to the dots and
dashes as dits and dahs because that more precisely represents the sound
they make. Then, you could go through the alphabet, announcing each letter
and then sending it slowly in morse. That should give them something from
which to learn the code. As far as hooking up the keyer goes, that's best
done by someone local to the person in question. Good luck. lou Lou Kolb
