Alliteration

To help you remember the definition for alliteration, remember that the “l” repeats (repetition) and the word ends in a consonant (n), so alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in words that are close together in a sentence or passage. Think of tongue twisters and there’s a good chance you’re thinking of an example of alliteration: Cindy sells seashells down by the seashore on Sundays.
