(back cover) Increase Your Word Power " Dorothy A. Fontaine, Ph.D." Author Dorothy Fontaine shows how to use renowned educator Howard Gardners Multiple Intelligences theory to increase your vocabulary for academic success. Widely accepted for its beneficial results, Multiple Intelligencesor MIasserts that every student has eight or more separate types of intelligence, and is stronger in some intelligence sources, weaker in others. These sources include logical-mathematical, musical, spatial, and contact with nature, among others. Gardners approach to learning emphasizes concentrating on each students specific strengths as starting points for embracing all subjects. In this book, author Dorothy Fontaine applies Gardners MI theory to help you learn words, recognize them in your reading, and know how to use them in speech and written exercises. Every chapter introduces 125 new words, each with its definition, part of speech, and an example sentence. A master list of approximately 1,000 words at the back of the book brings all new words together for review. Quick Quizzes located throughout the book will help you gauge your word-learning progress.
