During my 30 year career as a dance specialist I've writtten these ebooks in the Learning Library from my experiences teaching rhythmic movement, ballet, rhythmic dance and yoga to people of all ages and abilities.

I've taught students who were physically, mentally and emotionally challenged, and found just like everyone else, those with some limitations enjoy moving, expressing and learning to the best of their abilities.

I think you'll find having these texts in your ebook library will prove to be a valuable resource, whether you're a teacher or parent. And they are perfect for homeschooling.

Learning large motor skills

This is the developmental order of learning the basic rhythmic motor skills:

1. Walking
2. Running
3. Marching
4. Galloping
5. Sliding
6. Hopping
7. Jumping
8. Leaping
9. Pedaling
10. Prancing
11. Toe Pointing
12. Skipping
13. Waltzing
14. Minuet
15. Schottische
16. Polka

All the texts are about learning and using large motor skills in a fun way - from mini-lessons for math and language to developing basic rhythmic movements in a solid and sequential manner with the accompaniment of rhythmic clapping, rhythm instruments, piano accompaniment, or other music.

Bunched together, these texts are all about kinesthetic learning - which is also useful for the visual and auditory learner, as they are watching and listening to directions and the action as it happens.

I recommend going through the individual ebook descriptions to see which texts would best suit your needs!
