Smooth learning Kanji by viewing their components (radicals) during practice.

[ThomasLeigh]

I've noted that taking a closer look onto single Kanji components (especially of the ones we're currently learning) can tangibly help with memorizing them, by creating additional associations within our minds/subconscious (which strengthen currently learned characters and those which we've already learned as well).

I learn 5 new Kanji every day (currently Jinmeiyou). As soon as I feel comfortably with them, I study their components from the character list. What I've observed, however, is that the optimal way - at least for me - would be to be able to view the currently written Kanji's components during the practice itself (once the character is written and grade buttons show up). This way the learning would take place more smoothly, because otherwise I often feel frustrated that I cannot strengthen memorizing Kanji I'm writing now - with its components.
