A child startles her parents by sitting with a book and re-telling the story without missing a ...

A child startles her parents by sitting with a book and re-telling the story without missing a single word. She captures every phrase correctly and even mimics the intonation of adult readers. Is this child considered literate?

▸ No, because literacy is defined as a word-by-word reconstruction of meaning.

▸ No, because the child hasn't yet learned word-print or letter-sound connections.

▸ Yes, true literacy is defined by intonation and storytelling quality rather than ability to understand text.

▸ Yes, the child is showing early awareness of skills that are part of literacy.
