Hello! I’m Doodle the Rooster, and I love waking you up every morning! Today, I’m going to teach you how to tell time, just like I do. It’s going to be fun!
There are two kinds of clocks. One is called an analog clock, and the other is a digital clock. Reading a digital clock is easy, but let’s learn how to read an analog clock together!
Let’s look at the analog clock. The big round part is called the face of the clock. It has two hands: a short hand and a long hand. The short hand tells us the hour and is called the hour hand. The long hand is called the minute hand. The clock has numbers from 1 to 12.
Let’s see what time it is! When the minute hand points to 12, we say “o’clock.” Now, if the hour hand is pointing to 1, we say it is one o’clock.
Look at the clock. The hour hand is at 3, and the minute hand is at 12. What time is it? It’s three o’clock!
Now, the hour hand is pointing to 6, and the minute hand is at 12. What time is it? It’s six o’clock!
Look again. The hour hand is at 9, and the minute hand is at 12. What time is it? It’s nine o’clock!
Finally, both hands are pointing to 12. What time is it? It’s twelve o’clock!
Great job! You’ve learned how to tell time to the hour. If you want to practice more, you can visit tutoringhour.com. I’m going to get some sleep now. Remember to like and subscribe to Tutoring Hour for more fun lessons. Bye-bye!
Clock Crafting: Create your own analog clock using a paper plate, a brad (paper fastener), and two strips of colored paper for the hands. Decorate the clock face with numbers from 1 to 12. Use the brad to attach the paper strips as the hour and minute hands. Practice setting different times by moving the hands and saying the time out loud. Ask a family member to quiz you by calling out a time, and you set it on your clock!
Time Hunt: Go on a time hunt around your house! Look for different clocks and note what time they show. Are they analog or digital? Draw a picture of each clock you find and write down the time it shows. Discuss with a parent or guardian how each clock helps you in your daily routine, like waking up or knowing when it’s time for dinner.
Story Time with Doodle: Imagine a day in the life of Doodle the Rooster. Draw a comic strip showing Doodle waking up at different times of the day. For each scene, draw an analog clock showing the time and write a sentence about what Doodle is doing at that hour. Share your story with your class or family and explain how Doodle uses the clock to plan his day!

**Telling Time to the Hour**
Hey, I’m Doodle the Rooster, and I wake you from your sleep every morning! I love telling the time, and today I’ll show you how you can be as good at telling time as I am.
First things first, there are two types of clocks: this is an analog clock, and this is a digital clock. Reading a digital clock is very simple, but reading an analog clock can be a little tricky.
Let’s take a look at the analog clock. This whole thing is called the face of a clock. It has two hands: a short hand and a long hand. The short hand tells what hour it is and is called the hour hand. The long hand is called the minute hand. An analog clock is marked with numbers 1 through 12.
Now, let’s take a closer look at our clock face. The hour hand is pointing to 1, and the minute hand is pointing to 12. When the minute hand is pointing to 12, you need to say “o’clock.” So we say it is one o’clock.
Look at the clock now. Where is the hour hand? It is at 3, and the minute hand is at 12. So what time is it? It is three o’clock.
Look at the clock now. What time is it? The hour hand is pointing to 6, and the minute hand is at 12. So it is six o’clock.
Look at the clock now. What time is it? It’s nine o’clock.
Look at the clock now. What time is it? Both hands are pointing to 12, which means it is 12 o’clock.
I’ve done enough time telling for today. If you need more practice, visit tutoringhour.com.
I’ll go get some sleep now. Like and subscribe to Tutoring Hour and stay tuned for regular updates. Bye-bye!
