DS at 10 still has no interest in spelling (*sigh*) but more to the point of your question... my niece spelled orally well before she was a fluent reader. It was the source of a weird conversation with my sister (niece is her first child) where we finally figured out that I'd assumed kids always read before spelling since DS certainly did, and she had assumed it always worked the other way around because of how it worked for her child. Oops.
