Assonance
• Repeating a vowel sound throughout a
sentence, phrase, paragraph, or entire piece of
writing (A, E, I, O, or, U, sometimes Y)
Example:
The cats ran after an alligator
who was trying to assist an alarmed and
drowning armadillo to get across the river.

• Repeating the same consonant letter/ sound at
the beginning, middle, or end of a word within a
sentence, phrase, paragraph, or even an entire

• Consonants are letters that are

2. How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a
woodchuck could chuck wood?

1. The window winked at me.
2. The rain kissed my cheeks
as it fell from the sky.
