What kids do

“Look at the short hand. Write the time on the line.”

Teacher tip

Use a toy clock alongside the page. Tie each time to the student’s day: “At 12:00 we eat lunch.” The short hand tells the hour.

How to use it

  • Use the same order and the same words every time.
  • Practice a little every day instead of a lot once a week.
  • Use the same words every time you use the page. Short, steady language helps it stick.

Watch for

Skills that only work at school. Practice in new places with new people.

Talk about it

  • What do you do first?
  • What comes next?

Take it further

Take photos of the student doing each step and make their own version.
