Description
A lot of books focus on which motor skills should be taught to elementary school children, but few focus on how to teach those skills. Teaching Fundamental Motor Skills, Third Edition, steps into that gap and provides expert instruction on both, serving as a foundation for successful movement experiences for children.
The book will help you guide your students in mastering the critical elements of 8 locomotor and 17 manipulative skills. This approach offers a perfect balance between sound pedagogy and fun activities that will engage your students and keep them learning.
