Learning new Kanji While doing RTK?

#1
I am not sure if this is in the right place, so I apologize if it isn't, but I couldn't really find a relevant answer to my question while searching.

Anyways, I have been doing some light (and I mean VERY light) reading while doing RTK. Mostly Manga and such. Usually when I find a new word and look it up, I like to make some sentences with it after seeing it's conjugation to help it stick a bit better. The problem I have generally boils down to 2 things!

1. Kanji I have not yet seen in RTK are much harder to remember. They fly out of my brain super fast >_<

2. I often do not know the proper stroke order and don't want to pick up any bad habits! (probably the biggest issue)

I guess I am wondering if it is a good idea to READ and do RTK at the same time and how you guys go about doing it?

any suggestions would be helpful. ^_^

If reading is fun, why not do it. I'd just let the kanji that I hadn't study yet go, and work on RTK1. There are always more characters to learn, or relearn.
