Werner (physical education, U. of South Carolina) et al. explain how new and experienced physical education teachers can teach children in kindergarten to fifth grade individual skills in gymnastics. They define and give a history of the sport; discuss how it contributes to psychomotor, cognitive, and affective domains; and explain how to adapt gymnastics to specific teaching situations and assess students. They describe learning experiences for the skill themes of traveling, statics, and rotation, providing 11 experiences in this edition instead of 10, and modifications for additional experiences. A new chapter on sequence work has been added along with new material on behavior management, inclusion, and advocacy, and updated National Standards for Physical Education. The chapter on assessment has been revised. There is no index. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
