What's on this sheet
Each clock has a short hour hand and a long minute hand, with the hands placed exactly for an hour, quarter past, half past, or quarter to. The child follows the minute hand first to find 00, 15, 30, or 45, then checks where the shorter hand sits between the hour numbers and writes the matching digital time.
Why this sheet works
Quarter-hour practice is a useful bridge between whole hours and five-minute reading. The four repeated minute positions build a visible pattern without making every answer the same, while different hours prevent the task from becoming a simple copy exercise. The separate answer page shows the written time beside the same clock faces so an adult can check the page quickly.
