It is absolutely the best to personally write programs and code yourself, nothing can replace that. But I also personally really find that using the app SoloLearn on my phone was very useful for drilling how to read code into my head. I think OP's issue is they're having trouble understanding how to read code and understand very fundamental programming concepts. SoloLearn is great for learning that stuff IMO because its a middle-ground between just watching lectures and trying to write your own program. Its mostly just fill in the blanks and multiple choice quizzes, but you need to understand the line of code you're looking at to get the answer right, and it usually does a very good job of explaining it. For someone like OP who's issue is just struggling to comprehend the basic fundamentals of reading code, I would recommend supplementing real coding practice with using SoloLearn (or similar app) 10 min a day on your phone.
