Post Reading Activities by Pakistani Kids- Reflective Practices after Reading a Book

July 17, 2019 By Ayesha Marfani-Muslim Author 1 Comment

Post-reading activities can help children develop a deep interest in reading and help them internalize the ideas shared by the author.

These activities can also help them understand that there exist numerous viewpoints in the world. They become more accepting and less judgemental.

These are some of the reflective questions and activities one can ask after the kid is done with reading a book:

Reflective practices after reading a book:

Step 1: Name of the book

Step 2: Name of the author

Step 3: characters and supporting Characters

Step 4: favorite scene and why?

Step 5: If I would be the hero…

Step 6: If I would have to get rid of the antagonist (the villain, the peace breaker in the story)

Step 7: How would I deal with the problem if I suffer from what the hero suffers …

Step 8: I would write a sequel on the hero and name it…

Step 9: The best thing about the story…
Some talented Pakistani kids submitted amazing answers to the above questions. Many of them used the book by Author Ayesha Marfani since the books are becoming their favorites.

Third Story Telling Session at Midcity School

September 18, 2018 By Ayesha Marfani-Muslim Author Leave a Comment

Today was a big day for many reasons:

I did my third reading session at Mid City School.

I met an enthusiastic educationist Saba Tehseen and was overwhelmed by her warmth.

I told my story to an eager audience and they loved it.

The school has great management and the environment was cool.

Hats off to the school for raising the readers!

Tales from the Treasure Chest- Around the World in 365 Days:

June 18, 2018 By Ayesha Marfani-Muslim Author Leave a Comment

Tales from the Treasure Chest has completed 365 days in the market.  It has been a year of happenings for the book.

I remember my fears vividly. I can recall the hopes and aspirations I had. It has not been a smooth journey and success never comes easy.

I had my moments of high and low. I owe this success to many ‘humanly humans’ (those who help without anything in return) who supported me and made me believe in my stories.

I know my post will reach them and they will smile for they will know they were the ones who helped me. I thank them all. Here is the glimpse of the journey by ‘Tales from the Treasure Chest’ around the world in the 365 days.

Cover Reveal- I am Full Truth, I am Half Truth, I am Lie

May 26, 2018 By Ayesha Marfani-Muslim Author Leave a Comment

After the success of ‘Miss Never Pleased’ and ‘Tales from the Treasure Chest’, I am giving my readers a new surprise.

It is a new title coming up. You will meet the characters that you haven’t heard of before so who wants to see this beautiful cover and tell me their feelings about it.

About the book:

Name: I am full truth, I am half-truth, I am all lie

Publisher: Crimson Cloak Publishing

Genre: Middle-grade fiction

Target Age: 8 to 13 years

About the story:
I am Half-Truth, I am Full Truth, I am All Lie is the story of three ordinary boys born to three reclusive brothers. The three boys cherish each other’s company and friendship and enjoy their life, though they miss the social hangouts and ordinary pleasures that other boys of their age are accustomed to. They have strong character, yet they have a troubling habit related to truth and lies.

Only when their truth and lies cause misery in their lives and tear them apart, do they understand how important it is to be master of the art of judicious truth.

I am excited and want to know your thoughts on what this cover speaks to you.

Happy Reading!
