Hi June welcome - first of all I would encourage you to apply for Young Scholars Program, if you haven't already. Those Verbal scores are really, really high.
Then try and get your tester to give you a score with the extended scoring and to give you a copy of the 'raw scores.'
Is there a LD, I can tell you that you will be asking yourself this questions for a long long time! I wouldn't continue with this particular tester, but I would find one of the 'top 10 in the country' types to test, because with your DD's verbal scores, 99% of everything that anyone local is going to tell you is going to be 'suspect' at best.
Once you get into Davidson YSP, you will be able to request phone consultations with some of these 'best of the best' evaluators, and maybe get some future casting. Mostly time is going to be what tells you.
FWIF - I think that her processing speed is 'pretty good' for a kid with her Verbal scores. ((She has a lot to process!)) My son's Verbals are almost as high, and his processing speed is half a standard deviation lower, and although it is a bit of a bottleneck, it still isn't a 'Learning Disability' for the schools around here.
I'm also of the mindframe that spelling is a talent seperate from intelligence, and some people have it and some people don't. I speak from personal experience here!
If she isn't accepted into the gifted program, I want to hear about it.
My main concerns are:
1) is she happy?
2) is she learning how to deal with academic challenge and develop good work ethic for her age?
