Hyphens
This week’s spelling activity focuses on the use of hyphens. Children should sort the compound adjectives below in to words that need a hyphen and those that don’t. They need to be careful though – I’ve tried to catch them out.
| Hyphen | No hyphen |
man-eating actionpacked heavy-metal good-luck
hand-picked over-sleep mine-field tip-toed
state-of-the-art under-whelmed re-organise re-do

Next, children should add two more of their own to each column.
