Turn Every Drive into a Learning Adventure! 🚗📖 Make car rides more than just a journey—turn them into reading adventures!

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! 🌟📚
