AB - The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of strength-based instruction that was theoretically based on multiple intelligence on the reading comprehension and attitude for students with mental retardation by analyzing inner characteristics of the students in terms of theory of multiple intelligence. A total of 48 middle school students with mental retardation enrolled in special education classes in Seoul were participated in the study, and half of the participants showed strength of bodily-kinesthetic intelligence while the other half did not. The participants were divided into three groups; first group received instruction using bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, second group received language-based instruction in which teachers delivered verbal instruction and the students of this group responded verbally, and the third group function as a control group and received conventional reading instruction. To examine if reading comprehension and attitude were differed by the type of instruction and the level of bodily-kinesthetic intelligence of the participants, the data were analyzed using Two-way ANOVAs, and One-way ANOVAs with Tukey's HSD as a post hoc method. Results of the study indicated that the instruction designed based on the characteristics of multiple intelligence of students with mental retardation was effective to reading comprehension, and the reading attitude was also improved by increasing the learning motivation of the students.
