    Hmm that happens to me sometimes. I don't think it's something to worry about though.

    sometimes when I read I daydream and maybe you are letting your imagination interfere with it by introducing words. It's normal.

    As for forgetting words the brain has the capacity to forget things as well as remember so don't be too hard on yourself.  Keep reading and writing and it will return.
