Multiple Intelligences : A Thematic Approach - Lower Primary Book

Dr Howard Gardner, creator of the theory of multiple intelligences, has made us aware of the different ways people process information and of the importance of this knowledge in our teaching and learning.

This comprehensive, photocopiable series and set of posters aims to encourage children to develop competencies across all intelligences.

Multiple Intelligences is a photocopiable, three-book series providing teaching and learning opportunities using the eight multiple intelligences, developed by Dr Howard Gardner, through a thematic approach.
