The use of teaching material books in learning gets good responses from principals and teachers based on the interview results stating that the use of teaching materials based on the multiple intelligences theory in the central learning model makes students become creative and active so learning becomes fun. Whereas from the observation results, the scale of students 'developmental achievements shows students' development in accordance with the expectations and activeness of the students very well. The results of the research obtained can be concluded that the development of teaching materials in the form of teacher manuals and student worksheets based on the multiple intelligences theory in the centre of learning model aged 5-6 years is valid and suitable for use in classroom learning.
