πŸ“š Alliteration is a figure of speech where the same consonant sound is repeated at the beginning of closely connected words. It adds rhythm, musicality, and emphasis to your language.

πŸ” Example:
🌢️ Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.

Notice how the repetition of the "p" sound creates a catchy and memorable phrase which can also be used as a tongue twister!
