Sage, age 5, recites The Circus Ship by Chris Van Dusen

Haha! I don't know how I found this, but she's adorable!

Her I.Q. must be well above average. Did she recite this from memory supplemented with cue cards?

@ORUPRANKSTAZ Thank you!

Actually, no. Sage did not use any cue cards because she didn't know how to read.

She learned this one simultaneously while she was learning the very LONG Tale of Two Bad Mice.

I don't know how she kept it all in, but she did!

@xenakiddle Correction. She learned The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse at the same time as this one and it's very cute but quite long for if you have a chance to view it, you must allow nearly 9 minutes of time!

@xenakiddle

Kids can usually retain more, for longer, simply because there are fewer distractions.

When's the last time you met a grade schooler with a cable bill?

By the way, what's that sound at 2:25?

Anyway, kudos to Sage (note: COOL name)!

@ORUPRANKSTAZ I think what you're hearing is the sound of me turning a page? I don't hear anything else. . I didn't have it memorized so I was following along while she going along.

@xenakiddle

I thought so...
