Telling the Time Book 1

Telling the time is a vital life skill. Schofield & Sims Telling the Time breaks this difficult topic down into a sequence of manageable ideas that young learners can approach at their own pace. Beginning with child-friendly explanations of times of day and units of time, the series moves on to introduce telling the time on an analogue clock, before progressing to cover a wide range of related topics, including different ways of measuring and representing time, time expressions and everyday time problems. 

Each Telling the Time book provides:

• large, clear clock faces for easy counting
• colour-coded hands to aid recognition of hours and minutes
• Learn panels that explain time-telling in simple steps
• fun general-knowledge facts to enrich learning
• targeted practice, including counting activities, matching exercises and drawing the hands on the clock
• answers to all the practice questions in the book.
