I didn't use the G4FON software to learn the code (not much was
available 55 years ago...except maybe the Instructograph), but I have
used it for about 10 years to stay sharp. It will read any text file,
either one you invent or one you find somewhere. I convert chapters from
EPUB novels I bought for my nook to TXT format and listen to them in the
truck or at night when my eyes are too tired to enjoy reading. I
sometimes strip all punctuation (in NOTEPAD) except periods too.
You can select character speed, Farnsworth speed, tone, QSB/QRM/QRN and
even mix an entertaining and nostalgic QLF with speed/pitch dither,
straight key, chirp and whatever.
Highly recommended. I think the Koch method would make learning a snap.

I searched the net for programs that teach the code and there are a lot,
mostly free.
Since there has been some discussion of this on the "ancient 15 meter
posts," perhaps someone who has actually tried some of these programs
can
give those interested some recommendations.
