Alliteration is where all or most of the words in a sentence begin with the same letter. Making silly alliteration sentences to read with your child is a fun activity to reinforce phonemic awareness, or the ability to hear sounds in words. It also helps your child to learn upper and lower case letters as well.
Examples of Alliteration are:
Sentences:
The baby bear brought blankets and balloons to the ball.
Mary might mix marshmallows in the muffin mix.
Willy went to the water to watch a walrus.
Phrases:
Billy's brown balloon
Lara's lemon lollipop
purple painted pansey
Steps:
1. Write an alliteration sentence or phrase.
2. Read the sentences or phrase a few times with your child.
3. Ask you child to circle the repeating letter in each word that begins with that letter.
4. Read just the words that begin with the repeating letter.
5. Encourage your child to repeat the words and then the letter sound that the words begin with.
6. Next, reread the silly sentence or phrase.
7. Finally, have your child write the letter (repeated in the different words) and have your child draw a picture to match the silly sentence or phrase.
8. Save these to make a book of silly sentences or phrases to reread in the future to practice letters and sounds. Having your child draw the illustration will give him ownership with the book.
