Incorporating Luke and Freebody’s four-resource model into literacy teaching requires understanding of, and the relationships between each of the four repertoires of practice; Breaking the code of texts; using texts functionally; Participating in the meanings of texts; critically analysing and transforming texts (pg 38).
