A former high school English teacher, Amy often shares her expertise at local and national conferences and events. Married to an elementary school principal, Amy resides in the DC Metro with her three crazy-cool kids, a dog, two birds, and four fish.
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.
