The fall ReadStrong Community outreach program, hosted by the Delaware River Port Authority, will be on the New Jersey side of the Commodore Barry Bridge in Logan Township today from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

ReadStrong is a reading and literacy mentoring program providing reading and related activities outside the classroom to elementary school children. Students take field trips focusing on specific learning experiences.

In addition to U.S. history, this fall's theme focuses on the man considered to be the father of the U.S. Navy, Commodore John Barry. A day honoring him is celebrated in New Jersey and Pennsylvania on Sept. 13.

Taking part in today's program will be approximately 80 second- and third-grade students from the Chester Community Charter School in Chester and the Logan Township Elementary School in Logan Township.    - Inquirer staff
