๐ Topic Summary
Alliteration is when words that are close together start with the same sound. It's like a tongue twister, but more fun! For example, "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers" is a classic alliteration. We're going to use worksheets to help you practice finding and creating your own alliterations.
