Why do children find it difficult to learn to tell the time?
It’s a fact that lots of children struggle to learn to tell the time on analogue clocks, sadly some never do. To find a way to help these students EasyRead had to intensely study children in the learning environment to truly understand the problem.
Learn to tell the time in 2 or 3 Simple Steps!!
For an adult, reading a clock is a really simple process:
-
Step 1: With the “past & to” method, we look at the minute hand and assess the minute number value.
-
Step 2: We judge whether it’s minutes past or minutes to.
-
Step 3: We look at the hour hand and judge the hour value.
These 3 steps are the key to reading the time.
With the EasyRead clock children can instantly follow those 3 steps and read the time. They’re easy for a child to understand and learn:
- 1. Read the number at the end of the long hand
- 2. Say which side it’s pointing to (past or to)
- 3. Read the number at the end of the short hand
For example, say it like this: “8, “minutes to”, “2”.
Perhaps, like many of us, you tell the time another way, as if you’re reading a digital clock:
-
Step 1: With the “12/24 hour” method, we look at the hour hand and note the hour number value.
-
Step 2: We look at the minute hand and judge the minute value.
With an EasyRead clock that has a 12/24 hour face, children can instantly follow these 2 steps and read the time:
- 1. Read the number at the end of the short hand,
- 2. Read the number at the end of the long hand.
For example, say it like this: “One”, “fifty two”.
It really is that simple!
