The document describes The Four Resource Model, which outlines four types of literacy practices: code-breaking, text-participating, text-using, and text-analyzing. Code-breaking involves decoding written symbols, while text-participating focuses on comprehending meaning. Text-using emphasizes understanding how to apply texts for different purposes. Finally, text-analyzing involves critically examining how texts reflect certain perspectives and viewpoints. The model was originally developed by Freebody and Luke to define the range of competencies involved in effective reading.
