Wait a Little While is a short, calm poem about waiting, written for Autism Learning Guide to read aloud with your child.
Listen together Read aloud by Genevieve · 15 seconds
Waiting can feel long, I know,
Like a clock that ticks too slow.
Count my fingers, one to ten,
Take a breath and count again.
Watch the timer, sand runs through,
Now it is my turn, it is true!
Talk about it together
What can you do while you wait?
Tip: read it again tomorrow. Children often enjoy saying the last word of each line once the poem feels familiar.
