first−−a good idea, if you ask me−− but my parents didn’t agree.

A hyphen is used to divide a word at the end of line, and with prefixes such as ex-, self-, and all-Example: She is my ex-girlfriend.

Reader’s Workshop:Punctuation Marks

As you are reading today, try to find a dash or hyphen being used and write it down in your notebook.

If you can not find a dash or hyphen being used, create one using a sentence or sentences from your reading book.

We will now be reading independently. Remember, reading is thinking, so we must remain silent during this time.
