The Secret to Reading an Analogue Clock

This video shows how I teach my dyslexic and dyscalculic pupils to read the time on an analogue clock. I use transparencies so that we can physically superimpose or separate the two scales that, together, create an analogue clock face. The reaction of my older dyslexic and dyscalculic pupils to this method has often been, "Why did nobody tell me before about the two scales?"

Very helpful, I'm 22 and still have a hard time telling... time lol I needed to learn quickly how to read an analog clock for work and this video helped a lot. thanks !

[@MadnessVII]

Same here man I'm 20 and just started catching on how to tell time

[@aikachan0883]

The Roman numerals or analog clock I can't to begin with

[@fwuffy_cloud]

I know how to read the analogue clock. But my mom just got me a watch _without_ any numbers in it so it takes me a while to tell the time it is. Other than that, it's embarrassing when one of my classmates asks me what time it is and blankly stare at my watch waiting for my two braincells to think of something.

[@daredevil7679]

[@emansameh4236]

You did a great job on explaining how the clock actually works. I was looking for ways to teach my kid how to tell the time and the details mentioned would help alot. So, thank you!

If I have to time something cooking I look at my watch and I can't work out when the food will be done. I have to see a clock face or even draw one. Or use my fingers and count out loud. I'm 55.

[@AthulMK10]

My problem is that my watch has only hour hand and minute hand its difficult for me but i can easily get time in a watch with atleast the lines for hours and minutes

[@ealamoudi]

thank you, that was so helpful

[@ranahuwaidi3715]

Thank you helped so much!

[@ilenafrancocorella4548]

Thanks that is really good I only want that have sound to use it with my children

[@DebbieinNH]

It's designed to have you (the parent or teacher) do the talking, so that you can respond to your child naturally in real time about what they are seeing, and adjust the language to their level of sophistication. It allows you to stop the video at any moment to discuss, watch again, re-create with your own materials or drawings on the spot, or answer questions, without feeling as if you are interrupting someone or that you should let the video go to the end before addressing the child's response. For teaching, I find this format to be far superior to using videos with sound, which tend to go too fast, or overwhelm the child with long sentences or extraneous things like humorous asides that only distract from the idea presented.

[@Jasshands1]

thank you this is very helpful

[@Trash.baby.2004]

[@karynknowles4067]

I LEARNED TO READ MY WATCH🤩🥳

[@RoshniCS]

thanks for this! :)

[@ImScrewed-cr8io]

I wore digital watches my whole life. I just got an analog watch a week ago and I am having problems reading it. Haha

[@guillermov720]

cool guys

[@jokesly1256]

Sped* not speeded. Awesome video though.

[@DebbieinNH]

Sped and speeded are both correct, for anyone curious. It's one of those English verbs that is in transition from being only irregular (sped) to regular (speeded), similar to dreamt and dreamed, dove and dived, trod and treaded, shone and shined, lit and lighted, wove and weaved, and a few others. For a period of decades, both versions of such a verb are acceptable, although older people will generally prefer the irregular and younger people will prefer the regular (as these are what they have heard most often in their lifetime). Eventually the older form falls out of usage and is considered incorrect. Some that have made the shift recently include show/showed (previously shew) and swell/swelled (previously swoll). Additionally, usage may differ in different areas of the world where English is spoken. So 'speeded' may already be preferred in England where this author is from.
