Allison McDonald is a preschool teacher and the mom behind the popular early education website No Time For Flash Cards. While studying elementary education at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Allison worked as a reading tutor and volunteered as a buddy reader for underprivileged children. When she paused her teaching career to start her own family, she started her website and filled it with hands-on activities to help parents and teachers. Allison began writing Raise a Reader blog on Scholastic Parents with Amy in 2012. Now that she is back in a classroom, she is eager to help even more children fall in love with books.
