9. What is alliteration? Let’s look at
these
examples.
● Alliteration is the repeated beginning sound (not
alphabet letter) of words that are close together.
● Are these examples of alliteration?
Cassy craved for cupcakes.
Cassy ate cereal.
Cassy baked some yummy strawberry cupcakes.
Yes, because the words close to each other begin
with the same sound.
No, because the words with the same sound are
not close to each other.
No, because the words do not begin with the same
sound. They only begin with the same letter.

10. Now let’s look at
some poems that
use alliteration

11. Here is an example of
a poem that uses
alliteration.

12. Betty’s room
Can you spot the
alliteration used in this
poem?
There is no clutter cluttered up
more closely, I presume,
than the clutter clustered clingingly
in my friend, Betty's room.
Her mother mutters mawkishly
and fills her with such dread.
She mutters on about the muss
that messes Betty's bed.
At bedtime, Betty bounces all
her objects to the floor.
Each morning, when she wakes up, they
go on her bed once more.
