Acquired Dyslexia: Surface Dyslexia (grapheme-phoneme)
Two ÔproblemsÕ associated with surface dyslexia:
1. (Luria, 1947) Difficulty in remembering the phonemes represented by different letters: much; monk
2. Difficulty in reading groups of letters forming sequential patterns, for he has lost the schemata whereby letters appearing in
sequences unite to form syllables: congratulations (shons) and congratulations (eye-oh-nn-ss)

…showed last 75 words of 2952 total…better than abstract words.
Function words poorly read.
Nonword reading virtually impossible.
At chance on judging whether two words rhymed.
These two studies would seem to provide conclusive evidence for the right-hemisphere interpretation of
deep dyslexia.
Treatment
In deep dyslexia, the brain damage is extensive, the reading impairment is severe, and the patient is
aphasic as well as dyslexic. Nevertheless, the condition responds to appropriate and intensive treatment;
this has been demonstrated by de Partz (1986).
