Turn Every Drive into a Learning Adventure!
🚗📖 Make car rides more than just a journey—turn them into reading adventures! At La Joya ISD, we encourage you to ask your child to spot and read words on signs, billboards, or store names to practice recognizing environmental print. It's a fun and easy way to build literacy skills on the go!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
¡Convierte cada paseo en una aventura de aprendizaje!
🚗📖 ¡Haz que los viajes en carro sean más que un recorrido—conviértelos en aventuras de lectura! En La Joya ISD, te invitamos a pedirle a tu hijo que identifique y lea palabras en letreros, anuncios o nombres de tiendas para practicar el reconocimiento de texto ambiental. ¡Es una forma divertida y fácil de desarrollar habilidades de lectura mientras están en movimiento! 🌟📚

Building Stronger Families, One Story at a Time!

Let’s make family reading a tradition that lasts a lifetime! 📚✨ #FamilyReading #StrongBonds #LaJoyaISD #LJISDReads
