Scrabble/scrabulous

I've never been very good at scrabble (despite reading a lot and various other characteristics that would mean I 'ought' to be good at it). It's just hard.

I can't pick out words from a series of randomly ordered letters. [well, sometimes I can - sometimes words 'leap' out at me, other times I can't find anything]

Coordinating finding a word with the letters on the scrabble board I can play on and with playing on good bits of the board for getting high point score just makes it incredibly difficult.

If you consider yourself good at scrabble what did you do to become good at it? Any other scrabble playing hints/tips?
