Summary: learn the Arabic letters using this website I found.
I found a great website to drill the Arabic letters:
http://www.theiling.de/schrift/#arabic
It is split into Consonants, some Ligatures (special combinations of joined up letters), and the Digits 0-9.
It looks like this:
It displays a random character and you click which transliterated character from the English alphabet or click "No Idea".
I have found this really good for drilling in the characters, particularly in different forms and learning to differential between similar looking characters.
Also there is the option to change the Font Face which I have found really useful. I have actually gone through all the characters in each different Font Face option so that I really know them. The same characters can look very different depending on the font, so to avoid being caught out by that - practice all the font faces.
You can also flip to English -> Arabic too. I did this afterwards and found it much easier - or perhaps I'm actually learning :p.
