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.

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.

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.

This is a great work book to help your preschooler or young learner to start understanding the concepts of telling time. It focuses on learning the numbers, hours, and hand placement on the clock as well as learning about half-hours. It's a great workbook to take to an appt. (waiting room), or for a few minutes before dinner. My children have enjoyed many of the KUMON books.

Kumon products are wonderful I was originally skeptical that 4 year olds could learn how to tell time but with this book my kidos can tell time to the hour and we are working on the half hours. great product and a good price to match

This is a great book. My five year old has been bugging me to learn how to tell time and this book is fantastic.

My five-year-olds love workbooks, and they despised these books. None of the lessons are exciting---it's just clock faces, over and over again. Also instead of having the children learn "three-thirty" this book teaches "half past three"---when's the last time you heard someone use that phrase? I would not recommend this workbook for any age.

This one is really well designed. I had a lot of trouble teaching my kids to read a clock, and this book did the trick.

When I look at a Kumon workbook, I feel it is so repetitive that is must be boring! That is because I am an adult who can (thankfully) tell time. When my son goes through the repetitive worksheets, it build his confidence so that he can't help but learn the subject matter (in this case telling time).

We did skip some of the workbook pages because he is six years old and already very aware of clocks and the passage of time, but when I get the same book for my four year old we will probably do all of the exercises included.

We also have the 1st grade reading book which we love (much more challenging than this book) and the one on tracing for my younger children.

My 5 year old loves this book. He can tell the time in hours and is now learning the half-hours. This is a good book for learning to tell the time.
