As the new term gets underway, we have been taking a look at some of the teachers who have been making good use of our time teaching clocks and classroom resources. All of our products are designed to support teachers with practical, specialist resources, and encourage children to enhance their learning with engaging activities and accessible resources. But don’t just take our word for it: join us as we shine the spotlight on our full range of classroom clocks and resources.
“Telling the time is a fundamental skill, and it’s so important to get the teaching of time right (..) I can’t wait to teach time, so I can use some of the great resources provided by EasyReadTimeTeacher. I can’t wait to have a time monitor, so that the children can all have a turn wearing the watch. I think they will love using it to tell the time.”

“The children found it so helpful to learn about which half of the clock shows past and quarter, including all the different intervals, because it is colour-coded! They also have these really cool children’s watches, which have the exact same face as the teaching clock, so I will definitely be putting this up in my classroom!”

“@easyreadtimeteacher has got you sorted with their incredible telling the time bundle. (..) I love how bright and colourful these products are and know they will be a super addition to our time teaching. I know they will especially love wearing the watch! For those working in older year groups, the breakdown of minutes is so helpful as it’s so visual for the learner.

“Telling the time is obviously such a key foundational maths skill, but also one that is really tricky. But thanks to Easy Read Time Teachers’ range of products it has become so much easier. I wish I had discovered these products when I was teaching time a few months ago but I will definitely be using them next time around. Nevertheless, I’m hoping that this clock will now stop my class from asking what time it is and how long until lunchtime!”

“Easy Read Time Teacher has this amazing wall clock which I just absolutely love: it splits up the concept of time really simply and it’s a great visual for children to use. And I just love the student teaching aid that they can write on with whiteboard pens. I love the durability of this and it’s great for working through problems with children one-to-one.”

Our Classroom Resources
Making a real difference has always been our key aim here at Easy Read Time Teacher, and we are delighted to see that our time-teaching products are supporting learning in schools across the country. If you are searching for high-quality time teaching clocks, then explore our full range today and find the perfect resources for your class.
As we approach the end of another school year, it’s traditionally a time for teachers to think about the resources they will need ready for the start of the new academic year. If you’re a primary school teacher or headteacher then anything that can help children with maths skills should come as a welcome addition to your classrooms.
You may have read about our time teaching classroom clocks and resources recently as our products were featured in an article in Teachwire. This article explained the benefits of placing clocks in prominent positions around school to help children put their day into context – such as knowing how long it is until lunchtime and when they will be going home. A time teaching classroom clock is the perfect aid to help children learn to tell the time and gain confidence in their new found skill.
You may also have seen a review of our EasyRead Time Teacher classroom set in the Teach Primary Magazine. This review acknowledged the difficulties children can have in interpreting clocks, and summarised that our classroom set delivers a simple and effective way to help children learn to tell the time, thanks to the fact it:
- Breaks time telling into simple steps
- Uses thoughtfully designed and easy to use resources
- Effortlessly addresses possible areas of confusion
Our time teaching classroom set, which includes one classroom clock, teacher clock card and student practice cards, comes in two sizes and starts from just £85. The teacher and student cards are perfect for teaching lessons about time, as they enable teachers to set a time and ask children to replicate it on their own cards, with space for them to also write in the analogue or digital time.
The key benefits of our classroom sets are:
- Easy to handle clock face on student and teacher cards with moveable hands that stay where you want them.
- Sturdy student cards that are difficult to bend or break.
- Wipeable and santisable clock face on student and teacher cards.
- Colourful, easy to read wall clock
If you are looking to take a straightforward approach with your time teaching lessons from September, or would like a time teaching clock to display on your wall, please get in touch with the team at EasyRead today to talk about our attractive and logical classroom resources and how they can support learning in your school.
Last year, you may remember we launched a limited-edition Welsh language time teaching clock. Well, our initial supplies dwindled incredibly quickly and due to popular demand, we can now confirm that we have more clocks back in stock!
Before we look at the clocks themselves, let’s remind ourselves why embracing the Welsh language is so important.
There have been a number of items in the news recently about the Welsh language, including:
- The Welsh government is hoping there will be 1 million Welsh speakers by 2050
- The number of children going to Welsh language schools (Welsh Medium schools) has more than doubled in the last 30 years
- Welsh is a compulsory language for pupils across Wales in Key Stages 1, 2, 3 and 4
- The BBC recently launched a second welsh language radio channel
- Welsh was officially allowed to be used as the language of a debate at the Houses of Parliament, during a meeting of the Welsh Grand Committee recently
So, it seems Welsh is a language on the up, and with government initiatives to encourage more speakers and many pupils in Wales being taught in Welsh, there is a need for resources that will fit in with Welsh time teaching lessons.
Our Welsh classroom clocks feature our simple, 3-step time teaching system and are ideal for the classroom wall as they are silent – so no ticking to distract your students!
We developed our time teaching method back in 1992, and we still believe it the best way to teach children to tell the time, no matter what language they are learning in. Our clocks are designed to be bright and engaging to make children want to interact and learn.
Orders can be placed online, so please click here to view our Welsh language time teaching clocks or call us on 01684 566832 for more information.
