NYSTCE Family And Consumer Science (072) Practice Exam

By about 12 months, what skill is typically expected?

Crawl on his own. Walk independently. Speak in full sentences. Read a short paragraph.

Correct Answer:

Crawl on his own.

Explanation:

A key idea here is the typical trajectory of gross motor development in the first year. By around 12 months, many infants are starting to move around more independently, and crawling on their own is a common milestone at this age. Walking independently usually appears a bit later, often between 12 and 15 months, as balance and leg strength continue to develop. Language and literacy milestones come later in infancy and early childhood—speaking in full sentences and reading a paragraph aren’t expected until much later. So crawling on his own fits the 12‑month timeframe best.
