The first part "Never could he read" is okay, but the correct way of ending it is "but neither could his brother" or "but nor could his brother" if you mean that his brother was not able to read too. if his brother COULD read, you would finish it with "but his brother could."
You could say "He could read, and so could his brother." though!
