Shoes On, Out We Go is a short, calm poem about getting ready to go out, written for Autism Learning Guide to read aloud with your child.

Listen together Read aloud by Genevieve · 16 seconds

Coat on first, then zip it high,

Hat on head to keep me dry.

Left shoe, right shoe, on my feet,

Ready now to cross the street.

Hold a hand and look around,

Out we go with a happy sound.

Talk about it together

What do we put on before we go outside?

Tip: read it again tomorrow. Children often enjoy saying the last word of each line once the poem feels familiar.
