Information for Parents
About MeHi, my name is Aileen Carew, and I have the pleasure of being the reading specialist at Bel Aire Elementary School since 1999. I have been teaching for 32 years and have been working as a reading specialist for 17 of those years. I have a teaching, administrative, and a reading specialist credential with a Master of Science degree in language and literacy.
My job changes a bit every year according to the needs of each grade. My credential allows me to work with a variety of students in the area of language and literacy. Whole classes come to my room to learn comprehension strategies. I also teach small decoding, literature, and writing groups in the Learning Center. In my free time, I enjoy kayaking, music, films and spending time with family and friends. I grew up in Brooklyn and spent most of my summers on Long Island. I still return to Montauk every summer. I now live in San Rafael with my husband Arnold. Our 33 year old daughter, Kasey, lives in San Francisco and works in the yoga/film industry. |
