The LowdownAt EasyRead Time Teacher, we’re passionate about helping children learn. Telling the time is an essential life skill, but it’s a struggle for many, so that’s why we developed the EasyRead Classroom Clock.
It’s a working clock the whole KS1/2 class can use every day.
The face is designed to make telling the time simple. As well as bold digits representing hours, the minute numbers are clearly marked, along with the half and quarter hours. The clock face works with a clever 3-step process for telling the time:
- Read the number at the end of the long hand
- Say which side the long hand is pointing to (minutes past or to)
- Read the number at the end of the short hand
It’s a simple process that most children learn very quickly. With repeated use, they soon transfer their skill to other, less detailed, analogue clocks.

As well as wall clocks, EasyRead Time Teacher supplies watches, teaching aids and class resources for use in KS1/2 when children are learning about time.
Our Classroom Set has everything you need to help your children confidently tell the time.
