Alliteration

Alliteration is a type of word play that involves using the same starting sound for several words in a row. So let's say you love lollipops. "Loving lollipops" is an example of alliteration because both the words "loving" and "lollipops" start with the same sound "l".

It's like a tongue twister, where you say a sentence with words that have the same sound at the beginning. For example, "Silly Sally sells seashells by the seashore."

It's a fun way to make language more interesting and memorable. You can use alliteration in poetry or stories to create a certain mood or tone. And you can even use it to help you remember important information, like "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."
