Misspelling Out Loud fits the first one. I guess the other can just go to Book Dumb if there's nothing more specific.

Never Learned to Read might apply as well.
You have a character who isn't the brightest bulb in the set, so how do you show this to the audience? By having them misspell an easy word, like "ghost" or "beans" (those words happen to be two of the examples I have in-mind right now).
