This article discusses the relationship between spelling mistakes and writing levels based on the theory of psychogenesis of writing and the analysis of texts produced by literate children, youths and adults. Stemming from the idea that the literacy process is evolutionary and that, if not properly developed for the orthographic alphabetic level, it will result in the fact that individuals, albeit literate, will carry out writing mistakes, for example, in cases of internal homophony, that is, identical phonemes marked by different graphemes; exchange of voiceless phonemes for voiced ones; hyper and hyposegmentation; orality marks when writing words according to the local variant; among others. Our objective is, therefore, to demonstrate that spelling mistakes made by literate subjects come from a sort of stagnation that occurs in the development of written competence for the spelling level. The analyses focus on texts, which present spelling mistakes, written by literate adults, hence evincing an alphabetic but not orthographic level.
