From the Publisher

Kumon workbooks are based on the "Kumon Method", an educational philosophy that aims at unlocking the full learning potential of each individual child. The Kumon Method introduces learning concepts in an incremental, step-by-step approach, allowing children to master new skills easily and without anxiety or frustration. As a result, children gain confidence in their abilities and are motivated to learn on their own.

Over 3.9 million children around the world use the Kumon Method to develop their math and reading skills. Kumon Math and Reading Centers help students become successful, confident and self-motivated learners.

But it’s not just the Kumon Method that makes our workbooks special. It’s also the care and research that goes into the editorial content, design and quality of the books. Our editorial experts have more than two decades of experience in producing books that are both fun and educational. Our designers create illustrations that attract and delight children. And the quality of our books is the best of any workbook on the market, with extra thick paper and the best available print quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Leaning Hours and Half Hours on a Clock, March 19, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: My Book of Easy Telling Time: Learning about Hours and Half-Hours (Paperback)
This supplemental workbook will help your young child learn to tell time on a clock face. Recommended for ages 4 to 6, this book would typically be used at a first grade level or an advanced kindergarten student.

The introductory materials are a wealth of helpful information for parents and teachers. One of the featured items is how to teach your child to hold a pencil correctly. There is a list of Aims and Purposes, How to use this book and more information about the Kumon Methodology.

Encompassing over 80, full-color pages, this book will help your child associate certain times of day with certain activities (like dinner time, bed time, and lunch time). The workbook begins with number writing exercises, to be sure your child understands the sequence of numbers 1 - 12. After ensuring the numbers are learned, they then move on to putting numbers on a clock face, and learning to tell hours. They also cover half hours and associations between clock time and going to school, going to bed and meals.

This workbook is an excellent introduction to telling time for your young child. It is a fun after school activity or supplemental learning exercise for home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Excellent Book from Kumon, October 16, 2008
This review is from: My Book of Easy Telling Time: Learning about Hours and Half-Hours (Paperback)
We have bought over a dozen Kumon books, and I was thrilled that they had one for teaching the basic concepts of time. Some of the other ones that my son has completed are My Book of Coloring (Kumon Workbooks), My First Book Of Tracing (Kumon Workbooks), and My Book of Mazes: Things That Go! (Kumon Workbooks). We are currently working on several others.

My son just turned three in August, but he showed a real thirst for learning. I also wanted to help him learn pencil control, especially since he is a lefty. With the help of this book, my son already has a good grasp on the passing of time, and it compliments his other work with numbers in general.

The illustrations in this book are simple and straight-forward. If your young child has trouble with their vision, they will probably have an easier time with this book versus another style. Regardless of how many pages your child completes in one session, they will always feel like they have made progress.

Some of the other workbook series we have tried are School Specialty Publishing and School Zone Publishing. Kumon is definitely our favorite.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy Telling Time, May 21, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: My Book of Easy Telling Time: Learning about Hours and Half-Hours (Paperback)
I bought this book for my five year old who didn't know how to tell time. The repitition and writing involved made it fun and educational. He couldn't wait to go around the house and tell us what time it was. A great way to start the learning of telling time.
