Just add practice and a smattering of encouragement!
This has been brilliant. My 6 year old daughter wears it proudly every day and loves telling us the time. Very simple to use and learn. Just add practice and a smattering of encouragement!

I have put a EasyRead Time Teacher clock in each classroom.
Not only can the children use them really effectively but they also look great. As a specialist provision it was really important that the clocks did not look childish. These clocks were better than I originally thought.

Fantastic product.
Love it! Fantastic product. Such an easy to understand face, labelled on one side as “past” and the other as “to”. Simple instructions had my wee boy telling the time within minutes!
