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! 🌟📚

🌟 Superintendent Dr. Marcey Sorensen Meets with Student Advisory Committee! 🌟 🎓💡 This amazing group represents the heart and voice of La Joya ISD—our students!

Building Stronger Families, One Story at a Time! 📖❤️ Did you know that family reading time does more than build strong readers? It creates strong bonds, too! At La Joya ISD, we know that children who read with their families are more likely to develop a lifelong love of reading and perform better in school. Let’s make family reading a tradition that lasts a lifetime! 📚✨ #FamilyReading #StrongBonds #LaJoyaISD #LJISDReads
