The benefits were evident: the total number of errors dropped from 72% to 14%; the word/nonword opposition was no longer significant; the effects of grammatical class and concreteness tended to disappear; and only one clearly semantic error occurred. Moreover, the patient´s written word comprehension, as judged by the picture/word matching task with semantic distractors, was flawless (as compared to 55% errors pre-therapy). However, of the few oral reading errors (14%) noted on the whole testing battery, 60% of the total errors (or 8.1% of the total words read) resulted from erroneous application of grapheme-to-phoneme correspondence.
