OVERVIEW
In this lesson, students learn about alliteration from picture books by author–illustrator Pamela Duncan Edwards. Using the books' illustrations for inspiration, students write original alliterative sentences and share them with the class. As the lesson continues, students practice using alliteration to create acrostic poems, alphabet books, number books, and tongue twisters.
FEATURED RESOURCES
Acrostic Poems: Students use this interactive tool to create alliterative acrostic poems.
