In this study we describe an investigation into the residual spelling skills of a patient (BRK) with a deep dysgraphia. His written spelling was significantly superior to his oral spelling and he had grave difficulties in recognizing orally spelled words. In addition, his impairment in recognizing orally spelled words was qualitatively very similar to his difficulties in oral spelling. In contrast, he could read and repeat the stimuli he could no longer spell. It seems therefore that, recognizing orally spelled words is dependent on the same procedures used in spelling rather than in reading. It is argued that BRK's discrepancy between oral and written spelling reflects a deficit in accessing a letter name code which translates abstract graphemic representations into letter names. In addition, it is suggested that the letter name code has an additional synthesizing function that is involved both in checking self-generated oral spellings and in recognizing orally spelled words.
