At Clever Kiwi, we believe in nurturing growth by providing children's writing, reading, math, and multipurpose workbooks, journals, and notebooks.
Our books give students control over their education work by following the student, rather than forcing the student to follow the book. With our unique approach, our books help children feel accomplished in their work, feel empowered to explore, and feel confident in their progress and growth.
Because of their special formatting and design (like the addition of tools and resources built right into the covers), our books empower students’ creativity, support each child’s learning style, and validate young people’s growth and achievement.
Clever Kiwi materials can be remedial or advanced. They can be used with individuals, small groups, or in a classroom workshop format. They can supplement existing curriculums or stand alone as independent teaching resources. And they work wonderfully at home.
Plus, they’re cute and colorful. What’s not to love?
"Hi, I’m Elizabeth Thuestad. I was a primary teacher for 35 years, and now I run Clever Kiwi. At the start of my career, I was lucky enough to work in a two room schoolhouse, teaching a multiage group of students. That experience shaped my view of education and taught me how to really see the children in front of me.
I loved seeing a student’s unique personality shine through in their work, seeing their eyes light up when they grasped a new concept, and seeing their sense of self-esteem and self-worth grow as they overcame new obstacles and challenges. I’s this love of nurturing growth and empowering students that drives my work and Clever Kiwi today."
