I learned to read the Armenian alphabet a few years ago, and writing actually didn't help at all with that, reading did. What I did was try my best to read passages and have the English transliteration underneath as a cheat sheet. Despite not knowing much vocab, I learned the alphabet quickly this way. Then vocab helped later on because it made words more recognizable.
