I'm using photographic memory as a shorthand here, as I haven't taught DD to read.
BUT - I wondered how normal it is that she can repeat lines and lines from books, even though she's only heard them a couple of times?
I bought her some Meg and Mog books and she's only been read them a few times and knows most of the words.
She was given the snowman book for christmas and can repeat the entire opening paragraph (this is the new version of the snowman with text!!!) I've read it tons of times and don't remember the opening paragraph.
Is this normal? I don't think she's some kind of genius or anything, btw. But do feel free to come take me down a peg or two if it makes you happy
