Skipping

I love dance lessons that focus on the basic locomotor steps: walking, running, jumping, hopping, skipping, galloping, and leaping.

Ready, Set, Skip! is a joyful picture book for students in preschool, kindergarten, and first grade. The main character struggles with skipping, but with a little encouragement from her mother, she tries and learns how to skip.

This book (by Jane O'Connor with illustrations by Ann James) can be a great introduction in a dance class or a fun book for parents and children to enjoy together.
