I'm not sure how dyslexics differ, but when I was a child I learned spelling and reading both together AND separately. I was taught to read using the original phonics method in the early 60s, but words which aren't spelled phonically: cough, laughter, etc were given as short lists of about six to ten words we had to learn at home and were later tested on.
Luckily, one of my older sisters was training to be a teacher at that time so I would sit with her while she was studying and just copy out the words we'd been given, cover them up and try to write them correctly. When I could do this on my own, my sister would test me.
That's how I learned to spell 'difficult' words while still at infant school. If your husband is willing, you may be able to help him in the way my sister helped me. I was a child eager to learn, your husband may feel differently.
Further to my link regarding aiding reading (for someone who is dyslexic) using a guide (like a bookmark) which singles out a line at a time; I tried this with my PaperWhite this afternoon, apparently cardboard doesn't activate touch screens, so you can use a card bookmark as a guide with a touch screen ereader. Hope this helps.
