These bright, appealing grammar worksheets are a great help for practising and revising the use of alliteration in KS2. There are three worksheets in total, covering the following five sections – ‘understand’, ‘challenge’, ‘test’, ‘explain’ and ‘apply’.

  • Understand

    Students identify alliteration examples in a short passage of text.

  • Explain

    ‘Explain, using your words, what alliteration is. Create an example to explain your definition.’

  • Test

    Students underline alliterative words within five sentences, complete three sentences in a way that adds alliteration and identify how alliteration has been used within a single sentence.

  • Challenge

    Students create sentences that contain alliterative phrases in response to two image prompts.

  • Apply

    Prompted by an image of a street scene, students are tasked with descriptive passage that employs alliteration to highlight their feelings
