Most people tend to forget that Alliteration (note spelling) can also consist of vowel sounds being repeated in a particular phrase. It is not limited to just consonant sounds.
Look at the poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins for excellent examples of both types.
Note to Hanley, assonance and consonance are specific types of alliteration.

Alliteration uses words in a sentence beginning with the same letter or sound. It is used to add interest to a particular piece of writing.
eg. John jumped over the jagged jaws of a juvenile jaguar.

It's not illeration, illiteration or such like....it's alliteration
eg. She sells sea shells on the sea shore.

Illeration is not in my Oxford Pocket Dictionary.
Have you spelt it right?

note to wide awake; when vowel sounds are repeated to purposefully draw attention to a particular phrase it is called assonance.
