Easy Read Classroom Clock - Set of 10

Easy Read Classroom Clock - Set of 10 introduces the simplest and most effective time-teaching system for children. Designed specifically for primary school classrooms, these clocks eliminate common challenges when teaching children to read time in terms of minutes past and minutes to the hour. This set of 10 EasyRead Classroom Clocks comes with the innovative EasyRead 3-Step Teaching System, which simplifies the process of telling the time in just three easy steps that any child can understand and remember.

With these clocks permanently displayed in the classroom, both teachers and students can refer to them at any time, ensuring constant incidental and visible learning. The clock is large enough to be clearly seen from the back of the classroom, and it looks like a regular analogue clock, making it a natural and consistent learning tool throughout the day.

Features:

• The clock dial displays all the necessary information: minutes past and minutes to, with clearly marked boxes for the hour numbers and five-minute intervals.
• Comes with instructions and curriculum links on the back of the clock to help teachers integrate it into lessons.
• The large 35cm diameter ensures visibility from anywhere in the classroom.
• Teaches children how to tell time in three simple steps, making it quick to learn in under five minutes.
• Helps build confidence in children while saving teachers valuable time in lesson planning and teaching.

The 5 Key Elements for Effective Time Teaching:

• Information on the Dial: The dial includes all the details children need, such as “minutes past” and “minutes to” and highlights the five-minute boxes for easy reference.
• Number Boxes: Each number is housed in a separate box, helping children identify which number to read as the hour changes from past the last hour to to the next hour.
• Tailored Hand Length: The hands are specifically designed to penetrate the number boxes, automatically directing children to read the correct number as the hand moves from one box to the next.
• Clear Distinction Between Hour and Minute Hands: The size difference between the numbers and hands ensures children can easily distinguish between hours and minutes.
• 3-Step Teaching System: This system guides children through the process of reading the time, ensuring accuracy every time. At O’clock, the child simply reads the hour hand first and says “O’clock” for clarity.
