From the Back Cover

This book is designed to help your child learn how to tell time. It also provides an educationally sound and entertaining way to practice the skill of measuring time. It is recommended that the best way to teach your child how to tell time is by relating what the clock says to important events in his or her day. For example, looking at the clock together while eating dinner,encourage your youngster to tell what time it is.

Learning about the clock is a skill that is acquired gradually. It is appropriate to have time-telling activities for a brief period almost daily until the task is learned.

The sturdy plastic write-on, wipe-off pages allow the youngster to practice drawing hands of the clock as often as possible, without using up the pages. It's OK to make mistakes!

From the Inside Flap

Note to parents: Telling time is learned gradually. You will be using this book often, for an extended period of time. Learning takes place in a relaxed environment. Since each youngster learns at his or her own pace, it's important to be patient and make the experience a fun time together. If a child experiences any difficulty, it is best to 'tell the answer' and go on with the lesson. Parents should keep in mind that all children want to succeed. We should be accepting of the child's rate of progress and not expect too much, too soon!

Using the clock: 1st and 2nd graders use the Hour and Minute Hands. 3rd and 4th graders use the Hour, Minute and Second Hands.
