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.

A true story about a Fiction tale

July 17, 2018 By Ayesha Marfani-Muslim Author 1 Comment

I want to tell you a story.

Ahmad sat crosslegged gazing intently to the black outlines on the paper. A lot of stuff was spread all around him containing glittered sheets and toddler pants.

His mother lovingly sketched the outline of what looked like a princess.  His strong imagination tolerated all imperfection in the picture and he believed it was a princess despite its rough edges and disappointing drawing.

The weirdest thing was the crown that seemed very big yet it fascinated Ahmad and he decorated it with the material he found suitable.

After decorating the princess with the ordinary things that showed his love for the ordinary things, the paper laid there drying yet the author inside his mom attended to this unique character again and again and the voice told her that this is going to be the next character after “Miss Never Pleased”, “I am truth”, “Peeper” and the “Peeping boy.”

Together they named their creation “big crowned princess” and then they knew that the princess loved ordinary things. The picture became an inspiration and then she came up with a lot of ideas.  She transformed one of the ideas into a story.

Ahmad’s mom had a friend who lived miles away. Her name was Carrie Aulenbacher. Their love of writing brought them together. She shared her work as per her habit with the amazing writing friend who loved the story and the idea and sent the feedback as follows:

It brings tears to my eyes

This is a really powerful tale.  It would be a great story with an amazing lesson.  Don’t just judge a person based on how they look.  Don’t judge what they find precious.  Don’t judge where they see beauty.

Your story has moved me greatly.

Then this story reached Crimson Cloak Publishing USA. They also loved it and soon it was made into a beautiful picture book. Alison Wood did magic with her illustrating capabilities and now I am finally revealing the cover of the book that will be launched on 14th August.

Every Character Shares a story…

January 7, 2018 By Ayesha Marfani-Muslim Author 1 Comment

These are the main characters from my upcoming book titled as “I am half-truth, I all full truth, I am all lie.”

They were best friends in the beginning of the story but then a tragedy tore them apart.

These teens lived isolated from the world and had only the other two to socialize. They loved their life but then something really bad happened.

I won’t tell you what happened as you must read the book.

I can only tell you they had some problems with truth and lies.

Happy reading! Author Ayesha Marfani
