The short version
- Your Wyoming Steamboat Legacy Scholarship (ESA) covers more than you might think: curriculum, software, tutoring and materials.

- Amounts and rules shift year to year, so confirm the live number with your program before you buy.
Short answer: your Wyoming Steamboat Legacy Scholarship (ESA) covers more than you might think: curriculum, software, tutoring and materials. Online learning is eligible too, and you spend it through Odyssey. Wyoming's ESA names educational applications and annual subscriptions as allowable, a clean fit for a reading program. Here is the plain-English version of what the money covers for a struggling reader, and the smartest way to spend it.
The basics
- How much: $7,000 per student, a flat cap.
- Status: Not yet Wyoming funds do not pay for A New Page yet: we are an approved vendor, and our listing is in final marketplace review. The program is active and universal for the current program year. 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 spend it: through Odyssey. Keep every receipt and your child's progress documentation.
What reading families can buy
- Curriculum and textbooks for every subject, including a full structured-literacy reading curriculum.
- Educational software and online learning from approved vendors. This category stretches your dollars furthest, because a single annual license often covers a whole year of instruction.
- Tutoring from approved providers. Worth knowing: certified structured-literacy tutors run $80 to $120 an hour, which adds up fast. See what reading tutors cost.
- Services and therapies for students 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. The Wyoming offering is a $299 annual license for one student, purchased with that student’s funds. Before you spend anything, run the free reading check so you know exactly where your child stands.
A smart order of operations for a struggling reader
- Step 1, free: the free reading check finds the right place to start and the specific skill that is breaking down. No funds spent.
- Step 2, $299: a full year of structured-literacy instruction through A New Page, starting where the check found your child is ready, 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.
