Going round in circles with your voice over script?

Remember when you were a child, how lovely it was to be read to? Tucked up in bed, or sitting on the floor, drifting into a world beyond the classroom. Stories are woven into our DNA. A simple Google search will reveal pages of articles on why reading to children…
