Phonics Charts Use and Copyright

Phonics Charts Use and Copyright

Category: News and Blog   Posted: 10/08/2011 15:08

Today’s post is about working with individuals and groups using the PLD Learning Resources Phonics Charts and Cards and how this style of product is effected by copyright laws.

Dear Diana, We currently use the PLD Learning Resources A4 Phonic Charts on our literacy wall. We are interested to know if there are smaller versions to use for say daily revision or in small group work. Alternatively, how does copy write laws affect the reproduction of material such as your Phonic Charts in smaller sizes?

The PLD Learning Resources A4 Phonics Charts at this stage are only produced in the A4 Chart size. There are currently 4 sets available:

In the clinic we would still work with the charts placed onto a ring (for ease to flip from one to another also for the purposes of revision). In this way we didn’t work with small groups but individually with students with the A4 size cards

This is because we have found the larger rather than smaller font on the A4 charts/cards works best for students retention of the phonic concepts.

In terms of the copyright guidelines, "The purchasing education institution [or individual] is granted permission to copy ... a reasonable proportion – being no more than 10% or one chapter at any given time, for education purposes only".

Hence 10% at a time you are able to copy.
