Hello. In the past, I have downloaded activities without any problem. Now, I am unable to download. I have checked all folders. Nothing. Any idea why this might be? Thanks for any insight you may have.
By the way, I have used many of your prepared activities for learning the alphabet letters and sounds. Huge hit with the grandkids. Thank you.
