I've never heard of the term dress up, but can see that it and alliteration are a handy device to make a reader more drawn to the writing.
There are a lot of different dress ups in the curriculum we use, which is from The Institute for Excellence in Writing. The kids are catching on to much of it better than I am. Homeschooling 3 kids 12 and under definitely tests my patience on a regular basis. However I think they are learning quite well and it is less frustrating and for less physically damaging than the last few jobs I had before starting the homeschooling journey.
You have a rare opportunity in literally growing your children more than most parents. I bet you will look back on this time twenty to thirty years from now with great satisfaction! And, while the children likely don't appreciate your efforts now, they will look back at these times differently as well.
