The Easy to Read Wall Clock is the ideal first clock to help children learn to tell the time at home or school. Its clear design and simple 3 step teaching system make it very easy for children to learn to read the time in terms of ‘minutes past’ and ‘minutes to’ the hour. Step 1. Read the number at the end of the long hand on the outer ring Step 2. Say which side of the clock the long hand is pointing to (Minutes Past, or Minutes To) Step 3. Read the larger number at the end of the short hand The clock can be mounted on the wall as a regular clock or kept off the wall and adjusted using the handy dial at the back to easily move between different times while learning. The silent sweep movement also ensures there’s no ticking which some children find distracting or annoying.
