Abstract
An information processing model of reading was used to identify the locus of a reading and spelling disorder. The patient was found to exhibit the symptoms of surface dyslexia with surface dysgraphia, with a reliance on phonological decoding of the printed word to achieve comprehension. As a result, many errors were made in comprehending homophones. A remediation progrmmae presented on a microcomputer was implemented to retrain the recognition and comprehension of a set of written homophones. The patient improved in her ability to both recognise and comprehend homophones, but no generalization of the improvement to spelling of homophones took place.
