[senit] copyright and colour photocopying

But the theoretical scenario of colour copies of the pages of ORT book (or other) made into a matching activity where pupil matches correct sentence/builds sentence underneath, would be illegal....
Sounds like this new info makes us all more legal than we were, but not fully legal!!  Yet all we are doing is encouraging our pupils to read when they wouldn't otherwise, making reading more interactive and available, and focusing on the children's learning, not on making or saving money!!!
It's a mad, mad world
