An alliteration is a literary device where consecutive words in a sentence begin with the same sound, creating a rhythmic effect. It is frequently used in poetry and prose to add emphasis and enhance the sound and flow of writing.

An aliterate is a person who will not read - rather than a person who is unable to read, a person who does not wish to do so.
