ABSTRACT

A high cognitive speed level, Cs, is necessary for high reading achievement (high EL), that is, individuals are not likely to become high achievers in reading (high EL), with a low cognitive speed level, Cs. However, having a high Cs does not guarantee high reading achievement. Remember that Cs is one of three primary causes of reading achievement at Echelon 3, along with VL and PL discussed in the two preceding chapters.
