"I love teaching reading! I especially love teaching reading to students who feel they will never learn to read. I love that ‘aha’ moment when reading clicks for a student. I love when students are speechless or red-faced, or their face lights up as they realize “I can read this!” - author Ellen M. Murray M.Ed.
Think Spell Write is a reading program for students who are still struggling to read and write fluently despite having had reading instruction. This could be special education students, students whose education has been disrupted by trauma or interrupted due to frequent moves, or students who have not yet learned phonetic rules well enough to effectively apply them to read.

Ms. Murray is a Michigan native and a graduate of Grand Valley State University where she earned both a BA and MA. She is certified to teach general education for grades K – 8, and special education for grades K – 12 for the Emotionally Impaired, Mentally Impaired, and Learning Disabled. Ms. Murray taught for 32 years in a small northern Michigan town at Central Lake Public Schools. Initially, she was hired to teach in the newly formed grades 7 – 12 resource room. After ten years in that position, she then taught in the elementary resource room for five years where she continued to refine her skills in teaching reading. Eventually, the special education program at the school began to use an inclusion model, resulting in her teaching third through eighth grades over her remaining tenure there. Throughout her lengthy career she taught various subjects at many grade levels while never giving up her dedication to struggling students and her deep passion for teaching reading. Eventually, she became the reading teacher for any middle or high school student who was still experiencing difficulty with reading. After retiring in 2007, she relocated to the Grand Rapids, Michigan area and remained working in the field of education. For eight years she was an educational therapist at EnCourage Institute for Teaching and Learning: an Educational, Developmental and Behavioral Therapy center. Ms. Murray is currently working in special education for Grand Valley State University as a University Field Coordinator for the College of Education.
