What Is the Difference Between Repetition and Repetition of Sounds?

The above categories are all figures of speech where a word or phrase is repeated. However, there is another type of repetition in writing—the repetition of sounds. This type of repetition includes:

• 
  Consonance, where a consonant sound repeats in a string of words.
  
• 
  Assonance, or the repetition of vowel sounds
  
• 
  Alliteration, where initial letter sounds repeat.
  

While these literary terms all involve repetition, in literary analysis, experts usually use the term “repetition” to refer only to the use of recurring words and phrases.

Example of Repetition in Literature and Poetry

The power of repetition becomes clear when looking at examples in poetry and literature. Take this example of repetition from one of Edgar Allan Poe’s most famous poems, “The Bells” (1849):
To the tintinabulation that so musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells—
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.
The chief kind of repetition Poe has used is epizeuxis, with the word “bells” repeating in direct succession. One of the effects of this repetition is that it creates onomatopoeia, eventually

What is reading?

Reading is the process of looking at written symbols and letters and understanding the meaning of them.
To be able to read, we need to be able to:

• 
  identify the words we see (word recognition);
  
• 
  understand what they mean (comprehension);
  
• 
  connect words and their meaning so that reading is automatic and accurate (fluency).
  

It's one of the four main language skills alongside listening, speaking and writing. Reading is usually the third language skill that you learn in your native language - it comes after listening and speaking. When we read, we look at written symbols (letters, punctuation, spaces) and use our brains to convert them into words and sentences that have meaning to us.
Reading skills are one of the most important literacy skills that are taught in primary education. However, it is also important that children should learn that reading can be an enjoyable experience.
