Henry’s First Itch | Read Aloud
Support Materials
Grownups – Here are some additional talking points to engage your little learners even further:
- Wasn’t that a wonderful story? Now, it’s your turn to finish the story! Where will Henry’s next “itch” take him?
- Do you remember where he went first? Second? Third? And last?
- Think of a new place for Henry to visit. Find out a couple of cool things to share about that place.
👋Another great resource to accompany “Henry’s First Itch” is this activity from our friends at PBS. Learn how people say “hello” in different parts of the world.
🌎On the PBS KIDS show, Let’s Go Luna, Luna and her friends visit different places all around the world! Did you know that every country has its own flag? Color the flags of some of the places Luna has visited and then create your own!
