Elizabeth Farella

Hello Everyone!

My name is Elizabeth Farella and I am a Kindergarten teacher at St.
Edward the Confessor School. I enjoy working with children and helping
them achieve their dreams through education.   I am a proud graduate of
Molloy College where I studied education and received my permanent
teaching license. Upon graduation I taught first grade in the Malverne
School District. It was this experience that led me to earn my master’s
degree as a literacy specialist with a concentration in learning disability
studies. I received my permanent certification as a literacy specialist and
have worked with students in this capacity from kindergarten through high
school. My commitment to teaching reading continued after I joined St.
Edward's in 2006, and I earned my certification from the Wilson Reading
Program.
I love to teach my students about writing and enjoy writing about education.
I had an article about a mentor reading program published in The Wilson
Decoder and my story about my journey to becoming a teacher who loves
reading was published in the Chicken Soup for the Soul Series. I have
published eight stories for the book series since and wrote about my faith
journey in Catholic Digest.
Working at St. Edward’s is one of the greatest joys of my life. I feel truly
blessed to be part of this wonderful community.
