About the project
About Read a Clock
A focused place for children to understand analog time, practice it online, and finish with useful work on paper.
What this site does
Read a Clock helps children in Grade 1-3 move from reading clock hands to using a.m. and p.m., exact minutes, and elapsed time. Lessons, online practice, and printable work follow the same sequence.
Why analog clocks still matter
Analog clocks still show up in classrooms, schedules, and daily routines. They also give children an easy way to see halves, quarters, and the passage of time.
