Alliteration relates to the repetition of words with the same beginning sound in a phrase or sentence.
Teaching alliteration to children before they learn to read helps build essential phonological awareness, the ability to recognise and manipulate sounds in spoken language. It allows children to identify and differentiate the starting sounds of words, which strengthens their sound-to-letter associations, an important skill needed when they learn to read. By engaging with playful, rhythmic language patterns, children will develop a stronger foundation for understanding the relationships between sounds and letters, setting them up for success when they begin to decode words and read.
