What is the example of alliteration for the letter s?

Alliteration using letters such as 's' or 'sh' is actually called Sibilance. The same rules apply with it as alliteration - it just has a different name. Examples would be, "sweeping soot", "the snail slid sideways slowly, secreting slime as he went" "slow stepping on the sand"
