Author Dorothy Fontaine shows how to apply the teaching theory of renowned educator Howard Gardner to the practice of building students word power for academic success. More than 20 years ago, Gardner first offered the education profession his now famous theory of Multiple Intelligences, or MI. Widely accepted today for its beneficial results, MI contends that every student is equipped with eight or more separate types of intelligence, but each student is stronger in some intelligence sources, weaker in others. Multiple Intelligences include logical-mathematical, musical, spatial, and contact with nature, among others. Gardner's approach to learning starts by discovering each students several areas of intellectual strength, then concentrating on those specific strengths as starting points for educating the student in all subjects. In this book, author Dorothy Fontaine focuses Gardner's MI theory and applies it in ways designed to help students build the strong vocabulary they'll need for success as they go on to higher education. For example, among her suggestions for teaching vocabulary building to a Musical/Rhythmic Learner... Put new vocabulary words and sentences that clearly define them to the tunes of popular songs. Share these songs with one another. And for the Outdoors/Naturalist Learner she suggests... Go outside to study vocabulary. This is your natural environment. Relate the vocabulary words to your observations of nature each day. Many, many more suggested approaches to learning are presented for all eight intelligence types. Both parents and teachers will value Dorothy Fontaine's book for its practical application of Gardner's highly regarded theory. Each chapter of this book concentrates on one of Gardner's eight basic intelligence sources, and then outlines strategies for translating that intelligence source into the learning of words and their meanings. Approximately 125 new words are presented in each chapter reach word given 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. A series of Quick Quizzes throughout the book will help students gauge their word-learning progress.

«When Larry becomes a night guard at New York's Museum of Natural History, he expects to have an easy job. But on his very first night, he dozes off, then wakes up to the most amazing vanishing act in the museum's long history. The museum's entire famous collection of huge dinosaur skeletons has disappeared. In a panic, Larry rushes from one room to the next — then dashes outside into Central Park, and next door into the planetarium. Where did the skeletons go? Here and there, he manages to pick up a stray bone or two, but the skeletons are truly gone. Who is the dinosaur thief? And how in the world can Larry get those dinosaur bones back again? Originally published by Barron's in 1993, this mystery-comedy for kids returns in print as a complement to the major motion picture that it has inspired. «Night in the Museum», scheduled for release by Fox Studios in January'06, promises to be one of the year's biggest film hits for family audiences.

On his very first night at work, the night guard at New York's Museum of Natural History begins to see the museum's exhibits come to life. He tells his son about the many strange things he sees each night. At first reluctant to believe his father's fanciful tales, the son begins to see Dad in a new light when he, too, spends a night at the museum. He discovers that his father's amazing world is real. The film's unusual and entertaining story, starring Ben Stiller, Robin Williams, Mickey Rooney, and Dick Van Dyke, is faithfully recreated in this funny and fanciful novelization for young readers.»
