It appears that you are reporting both percent correct and percentile. The former is of less significance than the latter, as only percentile rankings are derived from age norms. Word study skills, consonant sounds, and vowel sounds are all sub skills, with no true normative information. (No percentiles.) Spelling is an actual subtest, with percentile scores. If both scores are actually percentiles, you are probably seeing normative comparisons to different groups. One (most likely the higher one) compares him to the nationwide general norms. The other probably compares him to a narrower group, such as private schoolers, ACSI (Christian school) members, etc. That is a self-selected group that tends to function higher than the nationwide norm, hence lower percentile scores for the same absolute level of function.
Interpretation of the subskills is not as reliable or accurate. I'd avoid splitting hairs. There should be some check marks under columns marked something like below average/average/above average. That's about how deeply you can interpret the subskills.
All that being said, I would keep an eye on the vowel sounds, and spend a little extra attention on observing his de novo decoding skills. High functioning compensated/stealth dyslexics often have no noticeable problem reading, but continue to have subtle spelling vulnerabilities, which is the flip side of the same skill as decoding. And you describe him as Dx dysgraphic, which would fit.
