I know he uses the terms "misprision" and "misreading" a lot throughout all of his writings. I don't have a copy on me to locate a specific example, but I bet a quick perusal of "A Map of Misreading" or "The Anxiety of Influence" would be enough to find numerous examples of this idea elaborated.
Not sure if this is exactly what you're referring to, but, along those same lines, ses the terms "misprision" and "misreading" a lot (and emphasizes that by "misreading" he does not mean some high-functioning form of dyslexia).
