Q:   How many educational activities are on Clever Island?

A:  Currently we have nearly 100 exciting and educational activities, with more added each month.


Q:   What is the recommended age range for Clever Island?

A:  Clever Island is designed for children 3 to 8 years old.


Q:   How do I know which activities are appropriate for which age?

A:  Clever Island automatically delivers a suite of age-appropriate activities to each user. However, our educational experts recognize that each child is unique and learns at his or her own pace. If in your opinion any student needs activities more or less difficult than he or she is receiving, you can change his or her level of difficulty.
The difficulty switch is located in our Teacher Center. To adjust this setting, log in with your Teacher Account user name and password and click on Student Information. You can also give any student the ability to change the difficulty level of Clever Island for himself or herself. The switch for this option is also reached through the Student Information link in our Teacher Control Center.


Q:   My students are still learning to read. Will they still be able to use Clever Island by themselves?

A:  Yes. We created Clever Island so that even beginning readers can use every activity by themselves.


Q:   What resources does Clever Island offer to teachers?

A:  Clever Island Classroom Edition offers teachers a wide range of resources through Clever Classroom, our online teachers' section. A password-protected section gives teachers reports on how their students have been using Clever Island, including favorite activities, preferred subject areas, and usage statistics. Clever Classroom has a wealth of other information as well. Teachers can find out about every activity on Clever Island; they can download printable activities for offline fun; and they can read about our educational values and our Advisory Board. Clever Classroom will help you get the most for your students out of your Clever Island subscription.


Q:   What is the Clever Island Advisory Board?
