Alex's 6 year old writing

Alex is headed to second grade next year. He had evaluations done on his writing. This included his penmanship and mechanics. 

Alex has been meticulous about his work since he started writing. He erases letters and words until he gets things to look exactly like he wants them.  

We were told that his penmanship is remarkable for a first grader.  I looked at his writing journal and i swear he could form the letter templates for teaching children how to write with some of his pages of writing 

Here is a small sample of what he wrote at school.  I adore the attempt at spelling pepperoni - "peper oenee."  His teacher told us that she had to tell Alex that he didn't need to worry about spelling be she has read first grade writing for years.
