Transcript of Alliteration. Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sound in two or more neighboring...
Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sound in two or more neighboring words or syllables.
Here are some examples:
Dolly Doesn’t like Don
The Wild Winds of Winter
Proper alliteration is NOT a repetition of letters; it is a
repetition of sound.
For example, never and knight are alliterate because they begin with the same consonant sound.
Ex: The Knight never rode to Norway
However, even though tin and thank begin with the same letter, they do not alliterate because they don’t begin with the
same consonant sound.
Ex: Thank you for my Tin ring
More Examples
Clyde Clumsily Closed the Closet
Angela and her Ants had a picnic of Anchovies
Wally the Worm had a great Workout

Super Samson Simpson
I am Super Samson Simpson,I'm superlatively strong,I like to carry elephants,
I do it all day long,I pick up half a dozen
and hoist them in the air,it's really somewhat simple,for I have strength to spare.
My muscles are enormous,they bulge from top to toe,and when I carry elephants,
they ripple to and fro,but I am not the strongest
in the Simpson family,for when I carry elephants,my grandma carries me.
