Alliteration
Alliteration is using words that start with the same sound near one another in a phrase or sentence. Alliteration is like a pop of sound that grabs your attention. It creates a rhythm of sounds which your ears tune in to - and it helps bring your writing alive for your reader.
Tongue twisters like the following are good examples of alliteration. For fun, practice saying these tongue twisters as quickly and as clearly as possible.
Example: Four fine fresh fish.
Example: Betty Botter bought a bit of butter.
Example: She sells seashells by the seashore.
