Hi,
While testing a Ld student today we came across a question that caused
great difficulty.
We used an unseen from Module E book, "Keeping New Jersey Roads Safe"
Question no. 1:   Give a definition of the word "state" as it is used in
line 1. Copy the correct dictionary definition.
This student uses an electronic dictionary where no definitions in English
are given. They have only the Hebrew transalation.
Are the book / exam writers aware of this problem?

We teach our Ld kids to use ordinary dictionaries but some find this
extremely difficult. I'd lke to hear your suggestions how the kids are to
handle this if it comes up on the Bagrut.
