Publisher's Description of Friendly Driver's Education Digital Audiobook - Family License
For students who learn best when the text is read to them, we offer an audiobook version of Friendly Driver’s Education. Text author, Joey Hajda, reads the text verbatim. Access to the audiobook is through our online listening portal. Learning to drive is much more than just knowing how to maneuver a car down the street. Friendly Driver’s Education
begins by teaching your child the science of how a car works. The
reader begins at the key and ignition switch continuing through the
engine, transmission and eventually out the tailpipe.
Once your
child has an understanding of how your car runs, safe operation of a
vehicle comes next. Navigating intersections, traffic lights and tricky
maneuvers such as roundabouts, one-way streets and entering or exiting
interstate highways are explored. Driving through construction zones,
around school buses or emergency vehicles is also discussed.
Friendly Driver’s Education
also includes instructions for when your car breaks down or you have a
minor collision. Car maintenance, automobile insurance and advice on
purchasing a vehicle round out the course. Once completed, your teenager
will be well prepared to take licensing exams and become that safe,
confident driver you wish him or her to be.
The Friendly Driver's Education course covers everything a parent wants their child to
understand before driving and then some! It truly prepares students from the
ground up, explaining how all the major components of a vehicle work before
getting into the safe operation and maintenance of a vehicle. Honestly, as an adult driver, I was amazed at
how many things made sense to me for the first time! The Student Textbook
is packed with colorful diagrams and detailed pictures, making concepts easy to
understand. Although it wasn’t designed to fulfill any specific state
requirements, the book is thorough in helping prepare for licensing exams. Use
it alongside your state handbook for a well-rounded course! The optional Video
Course – Family License features Joey Hajda (one of the authors) teaching using
engaging PowerPoint slides with his voiceover. This course can be completed in
1 semester or spread over the course of the year for a slower pace.
