This afternoon we did another Dr. Seuss Write the Room activity.  After we recorded all the new words around the room, we came together and sorted the words by how many syllables were in each word.  A syllable is a word part and all words are made up of syllables. Knowing this will help the children learn how to read and write. Understanding syllables and learning to segment words helps children build skills that  play a vital role in learning to spell, read and pronounce words correctly.
