Children with dyslexia, dyspraxia and many on the autistic scale may struggle to learn to tell the time easily. They especially have problems telling the time on a clock with hands.
It may be that you can tell whole hours and half hours but not smaller chunks such as 8:04. People with S.E.N. might find it difficult to distinguish between the minute and hour hands. Also concepts such as ‘to’ and ‘past’ on a clock might be confusing.
As a parent, there are several ways you can help your children to learn to tell the time:
Make your child the ‘official time keeper’ – Ask at frequent intervals what the time is in order to keep them practising
Our EasyRead watches and clocks are clear and colourful with a large dial showing every detail your child needs. Our simple yet effective three step teaching system makes it easy for children to learn to read the time in terms of ‘minutes past’ and ‘minutes to’ the hour. Our equally as effective two step system teaches children how to tell the time digitally.
Feedback from our customers indicates that our EasyRead clocks and watches really helped their S.E.N. children to learn how to tell the time.
We had a great time at the BETT Show! Did you manage to visit us? Don’t worry if not, take a look at our great new products in action now:
The new EasyRead TwinTime Classroom Sets are ‘hands on’ teaching resources for children learning to tell the time. They are double sided and feature an analogue clock face with independently moveable hour and minutes hands on both sides – perfect for teaching a classroom full of children. Teaching how to tell the time using both the digital and analogue methods is easy as one side shows ‘minutes past and to the hour’ and the other side shows ’12 and 24 hour time’.
40 million adults can’t tell the time according to a recent survey. The impact on their lives can be significant and it is easy to solve.
It’s never too late to learn how to tell the time, even as an adult. You might think it’s no longer necessary for you to learn how to tell the time. But clocks are everywhere: Grand Central Station, City Halls and even in cars! “I’ll meet you at a quarter after five” – this could be a problem!
EasyRead have the answer.
We are a family business dedicated to helping kids and adults learn to tell the time. Our clocks and wrist watches use both the digital and tradition ‘minutes past’ and ‘minutes to’ methods.
We have had over 50,000 worldwide sales; we are trusted by hundreds of schools and have a proven track record.
Every child has to tell the time eventually, but how do you start to teach them? Our wristwatches will make the process of learning to tell the time easy and fun. With an EasyRead Time Teacher wristwatch a four year old can learn to tell the time in just 10 minutes.
They’re comfortable and colourful, with a large clear face that shows the child everything they need to know to tell the time. The wristband will fit even the tiniest wrist and it’s removable, so you can wash it when you need to. Our simple step by step teaching system means that anyone can help them learn.
In addition, we also offer clocks for the home. Our three step teaching system is easy to master, enabling the children to learn with very minimum input from the adults around them.
Teaching kids how to tell the time can be a long and arduous process which can really test your patience. Countless “What’s the time?” questions can be exhausting, but we have the answer. EasyRead Time Teacher has designed a successful two-step system which will enable you to easily teach any child how to tell the time.
Have a go yourself and see how easy the two-step system really is.
This EasyRead clock face is available as a silent wall clock for the home or school or as a wrist watch kids can take anywhere.
At the beginning of the year there is so much to think about; have I enough school supplies? Am I up to speed with the curriculum? When was that meeting again? It might sound too good to be true- but with Easy Read Time Teacher we have the perfect way to teach children how to tell the time. Our two systems are so beautifully simple and effective you will want to use them straight away.
These systems for learning to tell the time will give children confidence to tell the time without help. Reassure their skills with one of our classroom wall clocks in two different sizes and colours.
The three-step system for learning to tell the time in ‘minutes past’ and ‘minutes to’ the hour is quick and effective. Simply read the number at the end of the long hand, then read which side of the clock the long hand is on (either ‘minutes to’ or ‘minutes past’), followed by the number at the end of the short hand. The two-step system for reading the time in terms of 12 and 24 hour digital time is equally effortless. Read the number at the end of the short hand, and then the number at the end of the long hand. Explain that in the morning we read the big hour number. In the afternoon we can choose to read either the big or small hour number.
The key to any success is practice, practice, practice. Teach the children to teach themselves while at play with our large wall mounted EasyRead playground clock. The clock is a robust weatherproof construction with toughened glass lens for extra durability. The face design replicates the EasyRead Classroom Clock and takes the same 3-step time teaching method from the Classroom to the Playground.
Sit back and relax safe in the knowledge that teaching the time is not another lesson to squeeze into your schedule, but a class all set up and ready to go.
Now that children are back at school, they will be more eager than ever to learning new things. Now really is the best time to start them early on the important life skills like telling time.
Of course, where do you start when it comes to teaching the time? Surely that’s the school’s job?
However, 7% of the population can’t tell the time using a traditional clock face, so don’t leave it to chance and it’s an important life skill so start early. We have two systems on how to tell the time but both are equally successful and both simple. Our clocks are perfect for the kitchen or the bedroom, and our wristwatches are designed in a wide range of colours and styles- so there is a something for everyone.
Having a clock and watch at home means that children will no longer have to ask for the time, they can read it themselves.

“Easy to read clock, my only regret is that I didn’t buy it sooner” C – Aug 2015
“A great clock for helping children to learn to tell the time. It has a very cheerful and attractive appearance, and is divided into sections by colour, which helps to identify whether it is “to” the hour, or “past”. Definitely a useful purchase. A big plus, too, is that it is silent, and so if hanging on a child’s bedroom wall, there will be no background noise.” Morganite – Sept 2015
“Fantastic watch. My son (4) was able to tell the time within 10 minutes.”
“Excellent, looks good quality, strong strap, my daughter within a day, seems competent now with telling time, she said, “it’s the best watch ever”, great for the child that has little confidence in time telling.” Tanya E – Sep 2015
“I recently bought this for my 7 year old daughter who was struggling to learn to tell the time. She has cracked it within two days of wearing this watch. It is incredibly intuitive to use and the way it is set out and gives the child all the tools they need to tell the time using an analogue clock. I would definitely recommend and am buying them for my nephew and niece for their birthdays!” G Oct 2015

It has so much detail, minutes, seconds etc and the different colours make it easier to learn from as my daughter knows now the green side is PAST and red side TO. Great for girls and boys. Would definitely recommend!”
