Literacy Autobiography

My first experience (and memory) of writing was when I was four or five years old. I wrote my first letter to Santa Claus. My Aunt Amy had just started teaching high school English and so I was her guinea pig, naturally. I started reading and writing when I was about three. Maybe not complete words but at least some form of a word. My mom found my letter to Santa Claus this past summer when she cleaned out the boxes in the garage. I had pretty good handwriting for a four/five year old. (LOL!!!) I can remember asking how to spell words and if things should be with "a big letter or a small letter". I can remember that once I started writing I didn't want to stop. I still love to read and write fifteen years later.
