Three-year-old stacy pretends to make a grocery list while in the car on the way to the grocery store. this activity reflects stacy's a. phonological awareness. b. animistic thinking. c. private speech. d. emergent literacy.

I believe the answer is: emergent literacy

emergent literacy refers to a situation when children already develop the awareness on the existence of reading and writing even though they still haven't learn to do both. Emergent literacy indicates that the children have entered the initial process of becoming a literate.
