Can I use my Wyoming Steamboat Legacy ESA for a reading program?
The short answer, then how it pays today, what you have to keep, and what it costs.
The short answer
Yes. Wyoming's program explicitly names educational applications and annual subscriptions as approved expenses, and A New Page is a structured-literacy reading curriculum for struggling and dyslexic readers, ages 3 to 18, sold as an annual license. That is the category, almost word for word. Approval is your administrator's call.
The Steamboat Legacy ESA award is $7,000, a flat cap.
The reading check is free for everyone. No account needed, right in your browser.
How it pays today
Reimbursement today, direct pay pending. A New Page is an approved Wyoming Steamboat Legacy vendor on Odyssey, and our offering, SKU ANP-READING-ANNUAL at $399 a year, is in final marketplace review. The day it goes live you will search for A New Page in your Wyoming Odyssey marketplace and pay straight from your ESA. Until then, buy the annual license and file for reimbursement.
Step by step
- Start A New Page and choose the $399 annual Reading Curriculum Term License, one single charge, which is what education programs reimburse most easily.
- Download your itemized receipt. It lists the product as a structured-literacy reading curriculum and a 12-month term license.
- Submit it to your Steamboat Legacy ESA account through Odyssey, with your child's placement result and weekly progress reports as documentation.
- Get reimbursed from your education funds. Keep the receipt and the reports on file, and check this page, which we keep current, for the day direct pay goes live.
What to keep for your file
Every program wants proof the money bought instruction. A New Page gives you all three pieces.
- The placement result. The free reading check takes 5 to 10 minutes in your browser and shows where reading is breaking down.
- Weekly progress reports. What your child practiced, and how their one-minute reading check moved against their own past scores.
- An itemized receipt. Your receipt names a structured-literacy reading curriculum and a 12-month term license, with our EIN on it.
What it costs
$399 for a one-time, 12-month Reading Curriculum Term License. One charge, one receipt, every child in your family. That single clean line is what education programs handle most easily.
Prefer monthly out of pocket? $39 a month, also for the whole family. Either way you start with a free week and no card, and the reading check is free for everyone.
Why structured literacy, and not another reading app
A struggling reader, and a dyslexic reader especially, does not need more reading time. They need the code taught in order, one piece at a time, out loud, with enough practice to make each piece automatic before the next lands. That is structured literacy.
A New Page turns it into a story. Your child reads the hero's lines, you read the story around them, and those lines use the exact words from the step your child is on. About 15 minutes a night, reviewed by our Founding Literacy Advisor, an Orton-based reading specialist of 41 years.
Reading is not the thing they do before the story. Reading is how the story moves.
