What does that word mean?

You will probably learn new words every day at RIS. Sometimes you can figure out what a new word means by the context (the other words around it) or with some help from a friend or your teacher. If you are at home doing your homework, perhaps you can get some help from your parents or a brother or sister.

But what if no one can help you? You'll need to meet this challenge by yourself! A great website to use is the Online Photographic Dictionary. Type the word you are looking for into the search box, then you will be able to read a simple definition and see a photograph to help you understand the new word.
