Mr. Walling,
I've just done so by wrote repetition. I begin by stating the question and the answer 2-3 times, then I'll have my daughter say it with me to the best of her ability. Then I'll just repeat it often when I get to visit with her. She catches on really quickly.
I've done the same with the Commandments. However, now that she can read, it may benefit if I give her some kind of card or something, and attach an occasional incentive for her to keep learning them.

My daughter did that with Kids Quest (the shorter short catechism), my son being a little bit lazy didn't memorize all of them. Yes, we should review and get my son to memorize them. Did you have them look up the scripture references and have them think why the answers are the way they are?

No. I haven't had her learn Scripture References relating to them yet. Lord willing, after she learns the Catechism we can then attach references thereunto. What I do is use the questions she learns to teach in family worship. I can then lay out the Scriptural "proof" and foundation for the answers.
