The Junior High has taken a Multiple Intelligence survey to determine their 
strengths as a learner.  No intelligence is better or more important than 
the other.  Your child has made a graph of their survey.  You can 
find this in their language arts' binder.  We have been going over some 
study strategies that might help them to be more successful learners.  
Below are explanations of some of the types of intelligences and some 
suggestions to help your child study.
