Is it necessary to have a hyphen in the following phrase?
graded-reading books
Please my friends you are only hope for me at a last chance salon because my teacher he is not knowing answer.
Answer
You should add a hyphen whenever you're using a compound adjective for a noun that is being used as a single descriptor for the noun.
For example in the phrase you provided, graded-reading is a single descriptor all together for the noun books, and saying graded books, or reading books separately, won't make sense to imply what you mean. So, yes, you must use a hyphen there.
