Figures of speech Alliteration Focus Alliteration Definition • Alliteration is the repetition of a sound at the beginning of words. Example: Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. Explanation • Alliteration occurs when the same consonant sound or sound group is repeated at the commencement of two or more stressed syllables of a word group (usually the first sound in a word). • Activities using alliteration are often used when introducing initial sounds to young students. • Alliteration is often used in nursery rhymes and poetry. Example: baa, baa black sheep • Alliteration can make rhymes, poems or songs easier to remember. • Alliteration is a useful writing tool to create special effects. Worksheet information • Allow the students to read the text in Question 1, assisting with any unfamiliar vocabulary if necessary. • Read and discuss the explanation of alliteration, give some examples and ask the students to supply some examples as well. • Using the poem, the students circle, count and write the number of alliterative words. • Question 3 asks the students to complete the sentences using the ‘t’ words supplied. Ideas for further practice • Identify alliterative words in texts used during shared reading sessions. • Make up fun tongue twisters to say and illustrate them. • Find alliterative words in the chorus or verse of popular songs.
