Telling Time

Why should I learn to read a clock?

When we can read a clock,

we can find out when it is
time to do something, like
meet a friend at the park or
watch a favorite show.
This looks pretty hard, Sure you can! It may
are you sure I can do take some practice,
this? but by learning the
basics you’ll be on
your way in no time!
This is an analog clock. Today, we will be
learning how to read an analog clock.
 The body of the clock is called the face.

The clock contains 12 numbers. We can
read the time as one o’clock, two o’clock,
three o’clock…you get the picture!
 The hands point to the numbers.

This hand is called the hour hand.
The hour hand is the shortest
hand. You can remember this
by remembering that “hour”
is a short word.
Hours between 12:00 midnight and 12:00
noon are read as A.M. For example, you
wake up in the morning at 6:00 AM
Any hour between 12:00 noon and 12
midnight is read as P.M. You eat dinner
with your family at 6:00 P.M.
This is the minute hand. It tells us the
minute of the hour. The minute hand is
longer than the hour
hand. Remember that
“minute” is a long
word.

Remember, there are

60 minutes in on
hour.
This is the second hand. It tells us how
many seconds have passed in the minute.

Remember, there are

60 seconds in one
minute.
Wow! This was really All it takes is a little
fun! I feel so much practice. Well, that’s
better about telling all the time we have
time! for today. Next time
we can practice telling
time to the nearest
minute.
