Dashes represent one of the most versatile and expressive punctuation marks in English writing, serving distinct purposes that extend far beyond simple sentence separation. Wayground's interactive video collection provides comprehensive guided video lessons that teach students when and how to use em dashes for emphasis and interruption, en dashes for ranges and connections, and hyphens for compound words and line breaks. These educational resources feature embedded questions and comprehension checks that help students distinguish between dash types while developing confidence in applying these punctuation marks effectively in their own writing. Through carefully structured video instruction, students learn to recognize how dashes can enhance sentence rhythm, create dramatic pauses, and clarify complex relationships between ideas. Wayground's extensive library draws from millions of teacher-created resources specifically designed to support English punctuation instruction through interactive video format. The platform's robust search and filtering capabilities enable educators to locate dash-focused content aligned with specific grade-level standards and learning objectives, while built-in differentiation tools allow teachers to customize video lessons for students with varying skill levels. Teachers can deploy these interactive videos across multiple formats, from whole-class instruction to individual remediation sessions, supporting both initial concept introduction and targeted skill reinforcement. The embedded assessment features within each video provide immediate feedback opportunities, enabling educators to identify students who need additional practice with dash usage while enriching the learning experience for those ready to explore more sophisticated punctuation applications in creative and academic writing contexts.
