Tired of your students randomly placing hyphens in words when they reach the end of a line? Then this worksheet is for you.
This is a two-part worksheet. In part one, students identify and correct incorrectly hyphenated words in an essay. In the second part, students are supplied with words which they must hyphenate properly while using them in sentences. A key is included in the file.
Please note: if you have not already taught the rules for using a hyphen, you will need to do so, or you will need some kind of source that your students can refer to for the rules.

This is my eighth year of teaching, and I currently teach 7th grade humanities in Washington state. Curriculum design is one of my favorite parts of the job. Six years ago I redesigned our seventh grade humanities curriculum to change it from a chronological approach to a thematic approach, and I've been obsessively refining it ever since. I also started teaching some online high school courses last year, which has been a great experience for me!
