The short version
- Your Indiana Education Scholarship Account (INESA) covers more than tuition.
- Curriculum, educational software, and materials are eligible, and you access it through ClassWallet.
- Amounts and rules shift year to year, so confirm the live number with your program before you buy.
Short answer: your Indiana Education Scholarship Account (INESA) covers more than tuition. Curriculum, educational software, and materials are eligible, and you access it through ClassWallet. Indiana funds curricular materials and educational software, but excludes open-ended subscriptions, so A New Page is offered as a one-time 12-month term license, which is the eligible form. Here is the plain-English version for a struggling reader, and the smartest way to spend it.
The basics
- How much: about $6,500 per student.
- Status: Not yet Indiana funds do not pay for A New Page yet, because we are still being approved. The program is active for eligible students. Amounts and rules shift year to year, so confirm the live number with your program before you buy. Status as of October 15, 2026.
- How you access it: ClassWallet. Keep every receipt and your child's progress documentation.
What reading families can buy
- Curriculum and textbooks, including a full structured-literacy reading curriculum.
- Educational software and online learning from approved vendors, the category that stretches your dollars furthest because one annual license covers a full year of instruction.
- Tutoring from approved providers. Certified structured-literacy tutors run $80 to $120 an hour, so see what reading tutors cost before you commit.
- Services and therapies for a student with a documented disability such as dyslexia.

One example in the software category
A New Page is a structured-literacy program, from first sounds to confident reading, for struggling and dyslexic readers ages 3 to 18, built on the science of reading. A free reading check finds the safest place for your child to start, then explicit phonics is delivered inside illustrated stories your child unlocks by reading aloud. It is offered as a one-time $299 annual reading-curriculum license for one student, purchased with that student’s funds. Start with the free reading check before you spend anything.
A smart order of operations
- Step 1, free: the free reading check finds the right place to start and the skill that is breaking down.
- Step 2, $299: a full year of structured-literacy instruction through A New Page, for one student.
- Step 3, the rest: decodable books, the remainder of your curriculum, and targeted tutoring only if the data says you need it.

What A New Page is
A reading program you do together, at home.
Fifteen minutes a night, side by side, from first sounds to confident reading, for ages 3 to 18. Your child reads the hero’s lines in a real story, built only from the sounds your child has learned. You read the rest from a script, so you never have to guess what to say.
Fifteen minutes a night.
A real story.
