Literacy means, in general, knowing how to read and write (reasonably well).

Spelling means being able to spell words. It is common that people who are literate still spell very poorly.

It is possible for a person to be able to spell words and not be able to read or write sentences. (I imagine this would involve a disability of some sort.)

So, they are different.
