Phonological:
Writing and spelling disturbances in whichthe spelling of unfamiliar words, non-words,and phonetically irregular words are impaired.
These students tend to have trouble spelling by sounds and rely on the visual aspect of letters; therefore, becausespelling is an auditory task, they will have trouble with spelling tests.

+
Surface:
Students have trouble with orthographic representationsof words, which makes the student rely too heavily on sound patterns; the opposite of phonological dysgraphia.

+
Mixed:
Students having trouble with mixing up letter formations and having trouble with spelling tasks, a combination of the first twotypes. Recalling letter formations is hard forthese students to do because there are so many instructions or rules that they get confused and; therefore, have inconsistent spellingsof words.
