Don't you love it. I bet you weren't expecting that.
Your son writes well. Good on him. I agree, reading certainly helps there.
I teach 5-6 year olds and even the parents can't believe what they are capable of writing. It's amazing when I think that kids come to school at 5 not reading a single word and at the end of the year can write 2 pages of writing (even though it needs full stops etc).
Congrats on the teaching job. The younger ones are very rewarding. I'm sure you'll love it.
