OXON HILL, Md. — Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Morgan is visiting the National Children’s Museum at National Harbor to participate in a literacy program.

On Saturday, Morgan will take part in a reading of “Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain” by author Verna Aardema. Museum officials say the event is part of a month-long Read Across America celebration.

The readings will take place in the museum’s theater at 1:30 and 1:45 p.m.

The NFL player was recently named the Washington Redskins’ Walter Payton Man of the Year.
