My Book of Telling Time: An Easy Guide to Understanding Hours and Half-Hours

_AS: This book only covers o'clock and half past time, for 80 pages. Those were pretty easy concepts for my son to grasp, and it became really repetitive and we skipped over a lot of exercises. I wish it covered quarter after and quarter too as well. As is I wouldn't recommend this book.

Robyn Jefferson: My 5 year old is a couple lessons into the book. It's very easy for him to follow and filled with fun pictures. If your child can write their numbers, they are ready for this book!

KDAB Mississauga: I purchased this for my neice along with another telling time book and her first watch. She's 3, but pretty advanced and loves her kitties. She reads this back to me and is now understanding the concept of time, and how to tell it. Exactly what I was looking for, and is a very helpful training tool - I highly recommend it!

The Parenting Patch: For our homeschool kindergarten lessons, I introduced time to my daughter using the My Book of Easy Telling Time: Learning about Hours and Half-Hours workbook from Kumon. The workbook introduces young learners to the concept of telling time by concentrating on the hours first and then incrementally introducing children to half- and quarter-hours, which also helps improve the general understanding of numbers. I like the slower pace of this workbook and the repetition, which reinforces the basics of telling time. My daughter is catching on to telling time through the use of this workbook.

homeschool_mama: The Kumon series of books works by empowering children to succeed on their own. The books get successively more difficult as they build upon skills learned from the previous pages, so that by the end of the book the child has a sense of accomplishment and be ready to move on to the next level. The instructor is more of a mentor or coach than a teacher in a classroom.

The Easy Telling Time book is designed to help teach the hour and half-hour. It starts off pretty easily with it asking to first trace along the numbers of a clock. It shows you what the numbers are supposed to be, you just fill them in. Then page by page, it gets progressively more difficult. It teaches about the hour hand and asks the child to fill in what time it is, then it gives you the time, but the hour hand has to be drawn. By the middle of the book, both hands are missing and need to be drawn in. Then it goes on to the minute hand, but instead of explaining it as 30 minutes, it uses the term "half past," which may be a little confusing if you're not used to talking this way around the house. I've been explaining it to my 3.5 year old as 30 minutes and he seems to have picked up on it fairly easily. By...

C. Bennett: This supplemental workbook will help your young child learn to tell time on a clock face. Recommended for ages 4 to 6, this book would typically be used at a first grade level or an advanced kindergarten student.

The introductory materials are a wealth of helpful information for parents and teachers. One of the featured items is how to teach your child to hold a pencil correctly. There is a list of Aims and Purposes, How to use this book and more information about the Kumon Methodology.

Encompassing over 80, full-color pages, this book will help your child associate certain times of day with certain activities (like dinner time, bed time, and lunch time). The workbook begins with number writing exercises, to be sure your child understands the sequence of numbers 1 - 12. After ensuring the numbers are learned, they then move on to putting numbers on a clock face, and learning to tell hours. They also cover half hours and associations between clock time and going to school, going to bed and meals.

This workbook is an excellent introduction to telling time for your young child. It is a fun after school activity or supplemental learning exercise for home.
