Rules for Alliteration

Proper alliteration is NOT a repetition of letters; it is a repetition of sound. For example, never and knight alliterate because they begin with the same consonant sound. Conversely, even though tin and thank begin with the same letter, they do not alliterate because they don’t begin with the same consonant sound.

Alliteration is all around us! Take some time to look around and notice…

In a Story or poetry… Fresh Fish Do you like fresh fish? It's just fine at Finney's Diner. Finney also has some fresher fish that's fresher and much finer.
