Hyphens in compound adjectives.

This resource includes a comprehensive teacher Notebook which introduces using commas between adjectives in extended noun phrases before looking at examples where two or more adjectives are acting together as one, and ensuring the children understand that these need a hyphen between them to connect them together rather than a comma. There is an independent work sheet for the children to put their knowledge into practice as well as providing an opportunity to revise different word classes. There is also a challenge activity that asks the children to identify how hyphens can help to avoid ambiguity in sentences when they are writing.
