Relate telling time to everyday experiences. What time do you eat breakfast or arrive home from school? What time do you go to bed? Stop and have your child read a clock so he or she can connect these activities to the time on the clock.
Set your phone timer to go off at various times throughout the day. When the alarm sounds, stop and ask your child read the time from an analog (traditional) clock.
