One of the really great things about the 2017 Honda Odyssey minivan, available now here at Gillman Honda San Antonio, is its ability to keep kids in the backseats entertained with a truly amazing infotainment system that includes, among other things, the opportunity to play movies to help pass the time on long (or even short) road trips. Of course, all good parents know that too much screen time can be detrimental to a child’s cognitive development, which is why Honda offers the Honda Road Readers app, currently available for free in any Honda car, SUV, or minivan.
This app allows those in the vehicle to listen to any of a number of different children’s and young adult audiobooks. There’s everything from classic literature like Peter Pan to modern young adult novels like “The Hunger Games” trilogy. Even better, thanks to a collaboration with the National Teacher of the Year Program, each book comes with a series of critical thinking questions that help the kids get even deeper into every story.
"Students learn best when they have enthusiastic teachers, and parents are a child's first and most important teacher. Honda Road Readers will help families share the infectious fun of reading together on journeys of the mind, the imagination and the heart," says Rebecca Mieliwocki, the 2012 National Teacher of the Year and 7th-grade English teacher in Burbank, Calif. "Reading not only boosts academic success but also awakens a person's social and civic sense. They help us know and be mesmerized by the world around us and give us a sense of how we fit in. Simply put, books change lives for the better."
The average family spends about four hours a week in the car, so using at least some of that time to read rather than watch movies is something this Honda dealership in Schertz, TX can get on board with.
