What is alliteration when you use the letter s?

Alliteration is the repetition of the same consonant sound at the beginning of words in a phrase or sentence. When you use the letter "s," you're essentially looking for words that start with an "s" sound, regardless of the actual letter that is written.

Here are some examples of alliteration using the letter "s":

* Slippery snakes slide silently through the grass. (This uses the "s" sound at the beginning of "slippery", "snakes", "slide", and "silently")

* Seven swans swam serenely on the surface. (This uses the "s" sound at the beginning of "seven", "swans", "swam", and "serenely")

* She sells seashells by the seashore. (This is a classic example, using the "s" sound in "she", "sells", "seashells", and "seashore")

Remember that alliteration can be created with the "s" sound even when the actual letter written isn't "s," like in "shadow" or "ship" (which both have the "sh" sound).
