At what age can a skilled reader typically comment on characters and pretend to read books?

Less than 1 year
1 year
2 years
3 years and older

The correct answer is: 2 years

At around 2 years of age, children exhibit significant development in their cognitive and language skills, which includes the ability to engage with stories and characters in books. At this stage, they begin to understand narratives and can pretend to read, often imitating the actions of adults or older peers. Children at this age have typically expanded their vocabulary and can express their thoughts about characters, which indicates an emerging comprehension of the narrative structure. This ability to comment on characters and engage imaginatively with books marks a crucial milestone in early literacy development, as it lays the foundation for more advanced reading and comprehension skills in the future. Children younger than 2 years may show interest in books and picture recognition, but their capacity to comment on story elements and engage in pretend reading generally develops more robustly after this age.
