5. Career  In the early 1990s, Luke and Peter Freebody introduced the Four Resources Model in literacy education  This model seeks to reconcile the debates between Whole Language, Phonics, critical literacy and others

6. Four Resources Model  This model postulates that in order to be a fully literate citizen, a person needs: 1. Code Breaker-coding competence (the ability to decode texts, i.e. phonics) 2. Meaning Maker-semantic competence (the ability to make meaning i.e. comprehension) 3. Text User-pragmatic competence (every day functional literacy i.e. writing a check/reading the newspaper) 4. Text Critic-critical competence (the ability to critically analyze text i.e determine reliable sources of information)

7. Cont.  Luke and Freebody assert that no one of these resources is sufficient by itself but that each is essential. Furthermore, the resources are not meant to indicate a sequence of instruction rather different resources should be present in instruction in varying amounts depending on the need of the student
