Alliteration - a language art with sequential repetition of a specific speech sound in words or nearby words - has been found be effective for creating phonics awareness as well as for speech development and correction.
Non-rhyming but rhythmic alliteration pattern poems work as physical exercises of speech organs and vocal chords with some fun element due to their tongue twisting nature
Under the IPA system, teachers are required to create their own alliteration pattern poems to provide practice for phonics awareness.
Here are a few examples used by me.
