This book has been an incredible resource for my research on my thesis work. In addition to that, I have learned MANY creative ways to help the students that I work with learn to read. Armstrong takes Gardner's theory of MI's and puts into an easy-to-read, easy-to-use format for teachers and parents to help children that my be struggling to learn to read and write through conventional methods. I would strongly recommend this book to parents, teachers, and students who are aspiring to become teachers.

Great tool!

This book is very helpful for using the Multiple Intelligences in the classroom. It gives very specific strategies for all of the intelligences. I am a language teacher, and I use many of the ideas in my classroom!
