Developing productive pedagogies within the literacy area can be a challenge for teachers. Santoro discusses Luke and Freebody’s four resource model; code breaker, text participant, text user, text analyst, and how it can be used across the curriculum. As literacy has a major impact on society, educators are able to provide a valuable learning tool (four resource model) for learners to begin to understand the complex literacy demands within a specific subject matter. The four roles are broken down and Santoro provides examples of how to support learners to successfully develop, engage and understand how these skills help to become a literate person.
