Telling Time by Jules Older introduces young readers to the basics of reading both analog and digital clocks in a fun, approachable way. Through simple explanations and playful illustrations, the book helps kids grasp hours, minutes, and the concept of AM and PM. It promotes time-management skills and builds confidence in a practical life skill, making learning to tell time an enjoyable experience.

In our homeschool math curriculum, Telling Time is a helpful tool in integrating practical life skills with academic learning. Here are a few ways we incorporate this valuable resource:

• Hands-On Learning Activities: We use Telling Time as a springboard for various interactive activities, such as creating paper clocks. 
• Cross-Curricular Connections: The book's content allows us to create connections with history, exploring the invention of clocks and the importance of timekeeping in ancient civilizations.
• Math Integration: The book introduces mathematical concepts such as addition and subtraction of time units, helping children apply their math skills to real-life scenarios, such as calculating the duration of activities or the time difference between events.
• Daily Life Application: Students are encouraged to develop their daily schedules, inspired by the book.
