  3. What is Alliteration? Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sound in two or more neighboring words or syllables. Also known as Initial Rhyme. Here are some examples: • the wild winds of winter • Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.

  5. What is the purpose of Alliteration?

  6. The purpose of alliteration is to create a pattern that catches the reader’s attention.

  8. Alliterative poems tend to be tongue twisters. They are written for the fun they bring when they are read! She sells seashells by the seashore!

  9. Rules for Alliteration

  10. Proper alliteration is NOT a repetition of letters; it is a repetition of sound. For example, never and knight alliterate because they begin with the same consonant sound. Conversely, even though tin and thank begin with the same letter, they do not alliterate because they don’t begin with the same consonant sound. http://alliteration.net/field5.htm

  11. Alliteration is all around us! Take some time to look around and notice…
