Child Repeating Select Words

I have a child in my preschool class who is 3-years-old. When I ask a question, instead of answering, the child will respond by saying a couple words from the question.

i.e.

I ask: Would you like to use the blue marker?
The child: Blue marker, blue marker, blue marker.

The child is not autistic, however, I'm not sure what would be causing this type of response. The parents don't seem to be very concerned, but I'm always cautious of how these types of things can affect the child's learning ability. I've researched speech disorders but I haven't found any information that specifically touches on this particular occurrence. Any ideas? Any parents/teachers have similar experiences?
