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
