I think the OP is correct. Children learn through a variety of strategies. Teachers are going to use everything at their disposal to make the most of a child's learning.
Young children don't understand abstract concepts. The idea that an individual "book" is somewhere in the device is a leap of conceptual reasoning that it would be foolish to present to a young child learning to read. Why make things harder for you and them? Spelling strategies in primary schools include making words out of matchsticks, plasticine and alphabet cards. It's a kinaesthetic strategy. Even older children benefit from these activities.
The question isn't: Could you teach a child to learn on an ereader? It's: Why would you?
