EasyRead Time Teacher Wall Clock - Set of 5

Easy Read Time Teacher Wall Clock - Set of 5 is the heart of the EasyRead Time Teaching System. Featuring a clear design and a simple 3-step teaching approach, this clock set is ideal for helping children learn how to read the time in terms of minutes past and minutes to the hour. The set includes 5 clocks, so you can consistently place the same clock in different areas of the school, reinforcing time-telling skills across classrooms.

The 3-step teaching system: Easy to learn and remember:

• Step 1: Read the number at the end of the long hand.
• Step 2: Say "minutes to" if it's pointing to the red side of the clock, or say "minutes past" if it's pointing to the blue side.
• Step 3: Read the number at the end of the short hand. For example, "8 minutes to 2." It's that easy!

This set of battery-operated, silent wall clocks provides a clear dial with all the necessary information to help children learn to tell the time. The clocks feature a sweep second hand, ensuring that time is represented as continuous and not in a stop-start fashion, which helps in understanding the concept of time flow.
