Cause---

We are moved by the story-telling mothers of A-fu’s Bookstore and   Chungyi  Elementary School  and eager to promote reading in our school. I hope the reading volunteers in our school could establish a reading volunteer group, bringing more students into the heaven of reading. First we tried to get an understanding of the background, spare time, problems they are faced with, and the skills they want to improve by questionnaires on the volunteers. After analyzing the collected questionnaires we invited the school master, the director and teachers to hold a research meeting which the reading volunteers attended.  Yan-cui’s mother was invited to share the experience of establishing the story-teller organization in   Chungyi  Elementary School. The story-telling mothers exchanged skills. We hope this meeting could spread the seeds of reading and strengthen the determination of the reading volunteers.

Design the questionnaire---[Questionnaire]

         We discussed the contents of the questionnaire during the noon break, and decided to design the questionnaire from such aspects as their occupation, the frequency of telling stories in school, the problems they are faced with, and the skills they want to improve.

Survey ---
We asked the director of each class to help us in collecting the questionnaires, and called the volunteers one by one for her willingness to attend the meeting.
