Telling Time: A Real-World Activity Book [74 pages]

Magic Resource

I got this book for my advanced 5 year old because he wanted the challenge of learning something new this summer, but I didn't want to push him into harder math that requires too much handwriting. This was honestly perfect! It was colorful and engaging, and so easy to understand. In fact, I sent the link over to our school's teacher as a possible resource for their whole class because it is so much easier to understand than their curriculum (as evidenced by my 5th grader still struggling with time). Within 3 days my son finished the first half and can tell time by hours. He usually gives up quickly and feels overwhelmed, but the use of white space and small chunks at a time were beyond perfect for him and he wanted to do extra. We'll work on the minutes next, and I think I'll have my 5th grader join us!

Filling in our gaps in a fun way

My kids are kind of struggling with the concept of reading a Clock, and I can't blame them because most clocks these days are digital, so I decided to take a chance on this little packet to see if it would help. The pages are colorful, and the activities are engaging. I really like the order that it's presented in. I think my kids are going to learn so much from this. We just barely scratched the surface of the first lesson but I can tell already that this feels like a good fit for our family.
