The object of the game is to come up with the longest and most difficult words beginning with the letter on the spaces you land on. The longer the words, the more points you score. First person to achieve the set amount of points (decided before the game starts) is the winner. Syllables Syllables are ways to split words into speech sounds. We naturally say words using syllables, but we don't usually think about it until we need to separate the syllables for reading or spelling purposes. If you feel you need more information on what syllables are or how to use them, online practice is a good place to start. So, why do we need syllables? When we learn to read, and as we encounter more difficult words, we may need to decode a word. You'll often hear someone telling a reader to sound it out or break the word into parts. When we do this, breaking the word into syllables can help us read the word. Here are a few examples: word- one syllable, word spelling- two syllables, spell/ing computer- three syllables, com/pu/ter Breaking a word into syllables can also help when we learn to spell new words. There are many spelling rules that apply to how a word is broken apart. For example, if a syllable ends with a vowel, the vowel sound is usually long.
