Fourth-grader Jordan Solmen broke the accelerated reading program record at Stadium Drive Elementary School in Boardman. In the program, students throughout the school read a book of their choosing and then spend about five minutes taking a reading comprehension test that is worth a certain number of points, depending on the length and level of difficulty of the book. Jordan earned 824 points by the program’s June 4 end date, beating the record by 2 points.
