"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!"

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!

Take their word for it

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!

27 years of refinement

First design in '92

Inventor and founder, Roger Shackleton (winner of an Australian Design Award), brought this novel idea to life after having a tricky time teaching his daughters to use regular analogue clocks. Roger’s first designs were created back in 1992.

Launched in UK & Australia

Things really kicked off in 2011 when the business first launched on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. ‘Theme Time Australia’, as it was known then, was featured on the popular show ‘Good Morning Australia’. In 2012, Roger’s sister, Sue Shackleton, joined him to develop the business in the UK and Europe. EasyRead Time Teacher was born in 2013.

Going global

Today, our clocks, watches, games and classroom resources are available across Europe, Australasia and North America. We are passionate about making these skills accessible for every child around the globe, so you can now purchase our products from Amazon, eBay and a growing list of other outlets.
