My ds does a lot of the same; sometimes it is boredom; I asked his 2nd grade teacher for harder words and she was really great about keeping him challenged going forward.

Sometimes it is his writing speed, so we have introduced typing to help but just getting older has helped as well.
Sometimes he is just thinking about a LOT of stuff; this is ok...but sometimes he does poorly on tightly timed tests.

check this out, in particular the part about too many associations - approx. pg. 30 (although the whole thing is interesting, and I probably ought to order the book!) -
