jasmine,
Glad to know that you are reading my blog
a sounds like the "a" in "at", "an", "as", etc. You should teach the "L" sound together with words like "let", "lip", "log", etc. It is more important that the child understands how it sounds like in a word. Once your child knows all the letter sounds, you should start teaching him how to read 2 and 3 letter words.
Fairyprincess,
Yes CDA can be used for both childcare and kindy. I think the government considers kindy fees to be cheaper, so don't need extra subsidy, since the government is already co-paying for the CDA.
I want my girl to have more time to practice reading books, before going on to Compre at MMI. Compre teaches grammar. After she completed her phonics class, she is still not reading very fluently. This is because many english words are not phoetic. I let her read the ladybird keyword series to learn the sight words. I prefer to let her read fluently and build up her vocabulary this year. I will probably send her for grammar class when she is 6 years old.
