Breed History & Job Description: English Setter history goes back some 400 years, but the story of the modern breed begins in the mid-1800s.

Although independent reading cannot substitute for teaching decoding, it improves reading comprehension and the habit of reading. Independent reading is children's reading of text â such as books, magazines, and newspapers â on their own, with minimal to no assistance from adults. It can consist of reading done in or out of school, including purely voluntary reading for enjoyment or assigned reading for homework.
Sight Word instruction, which aims to improve reading fluency, should take no more than 5 minutes each day. Sight Words are an important component to a balanced approach to literacy.
