Montana: Special Needs ESA
Montana families use A New Page at home.
Montana's Special Needs ESA is paused in court, so state funds do not pay for A New Page today. The family plan is $29 a month, the founding family price.
How Montana families start, three steps
Start your free week
Seven days, no card. Run the free reading check first, about 5 to 10 minutes.
Read 15 minutes a night
Your child reads the hero’s lines. You read the rest from a script.
Keep going for $29 a month
One plan for the whole family, paid on your own. Cancel anytime, on your own, in about a minute.
Where the Special Needs ESA stands
The stay that covered enrolled students expired June 30, 2026, and the case is on appeal to the Montana Supreme Court.
Do not count on this program for 2026-27 until the court rules.

What A New Page is
A structured literacy reading program for kids who find reading hard, including dyslexia.
- 15 minutes a night, side by side.
- Your child reads the hero’s lines. You read the rest from a script.
- Every line is built from sounds your child has already been taught.
- A weekly report you can print for the teacher or IEP team.
- For school-age readers (kindergarten to grade 12), placed by skill, never by grade. Littles (ages 3 to 4) are on the family plan.

Built on the science of reading
A New Page is Structured Literacy: the explicit, systematic approach the International Dyslexia Association recommends, in the Orton-Gillingham tradition, for struggling and dyslexic readers.
Our scope and sequence follows the order of skills in UFLI Foundations, the University of Florida Literacy Institute’s reading curriculum used in thousands of classrooms, with a few vowel sounds introduced early.
Reviewed by a reading specialist with 41 years of experience teaching children to read.
We publish how we measure progress, so anyone can check our work. See the research →
We’re new, and building this with our first families.
Questions Montana parents ask
What does the Special Needs Equal Opportunity ESA cover?
It is built for a child with a disability and covers curriculum, with awards that vary and are capped. In December 2025 it was held unconstitutional for lack of a valid appropriation, and it is now paused.
Where does Montana stand today?
Montana's Special Needs ESA is paused in court: the stay that covered enrolled students expired June 30, 2026, and the case is on appeal to the Montana Supreme Court. Reimbursement is not available right now, so do not count on it for 2026-27 until the court rules. We will write the moment Montana reopens. When state funds pay, the state's rule applies: one license, one student.
Can I still start tonight?
Yes. The free week needs no card, and the reading check is free for everyone. After the week, the family plan is $29 a month for every child in the house, paid on your own. That’s the founding family price, and it stays yours for as long as you’re with us.
Can a teacher or therapist see what we do at home?
Yes. In the app, open your child's reader and choose Share a reader. It gives you a code for that one child. The other grown-up opens anewpagereading.com/r, types the code and signs in with their own email. From then on you both see the same step, the same story and the same report, and either of you can stop sharing at any time.
