How it Works
Choose the right method to teach your child to tell the time
-
Watch how easy our "minutes past or minutes to" method is!
-
Step 1: Read the number at the end of the long hand.
"8..."
-
Step 2: Say which side the long hand is pointing to (past or to).
"...minutes to..."
-
Step 3: Read the number of the end of the short hand.
"...2!"
If you express the time as
"Minutes past or minutes to"
e.g. "8 minutes to 2"
If you're more familiar with
12/24 hour
e.g. "1:52"
