What is alliteration?

Alliteration is when words start with the same sound, making them fun to say and easy to remember.

Imagine you're playing with your favorite toy, a red ball that bounces really high. Now, think about saying: “Bobby bounced the big ball.” Can you hear how all those words begin with the letter b? That’s alliteration!

When you say "big ball", your mouth moves in a similar way for both words. It's like when you push your toy car, it goes “push, push, push” every time. Alliteration is kind of like that: it makes the sounds flow together nicely.

Try this one: "Silly snakes sip sweet soda." Can you feel how all those words start with s? It’s like when you shake your rattle, “shake, shake, shake”, everything goes together in a fun way!

Alliteration is used in stories, songs, and even names to make things sound more exciting and catchy.
