Enrollment to first assessment before your coffee goes cold
- Quick Enrollment Form (2 Minutes). Enter your child's name and grade level. That is all we need—Alabama's CHOOSE Act does not require a date of birth for enrollment. No lengthy applications, no waiting for approval.
- Get Your ClassWallet Invoice Instantly. We generate a ClassWallet-ready invoice for $99 per student the moment you submit. It is formatted to match what the Alabama Department of Revenue requires through ClassWallet—correct vendor details, service dates, and category.
- Upload to ClassWallet (Curricula and Instructional Materials). Submit the invoice through your ClassWallet account under Curricula and Instructional Materials. The Alabama Department of Revenue administers the CHOOSE Act through ClassWallet, and approval typically takes a few business days.
- Your Child's First Assessment: 60 Seconds. Once approved, your child reads aloud for 60 seconds and gets an instant reading score. You will see exactly where they stand compared to grade-level benchmarks—and what to work on next.
Make Every Dollar of Your $2,000 Count
Your CHOOSE Act homeschool ESA stretches further when your reading program costs just $99
Know Their Reading Level in 60 Seconds
Your child reads aloud for one minute. AI transcribes every word and scores their Words Correct Per Minute (WCPM)—the same metric Alabama schools use to measure reading fluency and identify students who need support.
Practice Built Around Their Specific Struggles
Skills Lab identifies your child's actual trouble words and builds targeted exercises around them. Phonics practice, modeled reading, and vocabulary work—not generic worksheets that waste their time and your ESA dollars.
Track Progress Against National Benchmarks
See whether your child is on track, above, or below grade level based on Hasbrouck and Tindal norms. Watch growth trends over weeks and months—the kind of data you would need a reading specialist to get otherwise.
New Reading Passages Every Assessment
AI generates fresh passages matched to your child's grade level each time they assess. They are genuinely reading new material, not memorizing a passage and repeating it back.
Your Dashboard Shows Exactly What to Work On
Every assessment score, every trouble word, and every trend—in one place. No more guessing whether your homeschool reading instruction is working. The data tells you clearly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Alabama CHOOSE Act?
The CHOOSE Act (Creating Hope and Opportunity for Our Students' Education) is Alabama's education savings account program signed into law in 2024. Eligible families receive ESA funds deposited into a ClassWallet account managed by the Alabama Department of Revenue. You use those funds for approved educational expenses—curriculum, tutoring, educational software, and instructional materials like ReadingFluency.
Who is eligible for the CHOOSE Act?
For the 2026-2027 school year, your family must have a household income at or below 300% of the federal poverty level—approximately $93,600 for a family of four. Your child must be a K-12 Alabama resident. Starting in the 2027-2028 school year, the income requirement is permanently removed and all Alabama students become eligible regardless of household income.
How much do homeschool families receive?
Homeschool families receive $2,000 per student, capped at $4,000 per family. Families with students enrolled in a participating private school receive $7,000 per student. ReadingFluency costs $99 per student per year—just 5% of a homeschool ESA—leaving plenty for your other curriculum purchases.
How do I use my CHOOSE Act funds with ReadingFluency?
Three steps: Fill out our enrollment form (2 minutes), download your ClassWallet-ready invoice (instant), and upload it to ClassWallet under Curricula and Instructional Materials. Once the Alabama Department of Revenue approves the invoice through ClassWallet, your child has full access for the school year. The form, the invoice, and the upload take about five minutes.
What grades does ReadingFluency cover?
Grades K through 5. Every reading passage, benchmark target, and Skills Lab activity is calibrated to your child's specific grade level. Scoring uses Hasbrouck and Tindal (2017) oral reading fluency norms—the nationally recognized standard used by reading specialists and schools across the country.
What is the CHOOSE Act fiscal year?
October 1 through September 30—this is different from some other states' ESA programs. Renewing families must complete their renewal application by March 31 to remain eligible for the following year. Your ReadingFluency subscription covers a full year of service, and our invoices include the correct service dates automatically.
How long does ClassWallet approval take?
Typically a few business days. We format your invoice to match exactly what the Alabama Department of Revenue expects through ClassWallet for Curricula and Instructional Materials, which helps avoid delays. Once approved, your child gets immediate access.
What exactly is included for $99/year?
Unlimited 60-second reading assessments with AI scoring, full Skills Lab access (phonics, modeled reading, trouble word practice), AI-generated reading passages matched to your child's grade level, progress tracking with national benchmarks, and a parent dashboard showing every result. One subscription covers the full school year for one student.
Can I enroll more than one child?
Yes. Add multiple students on the same enrollment form. Each child gets their own account, their own progress tracking, and their own ClassWallet invoice. The cost is $99 per student per year. Remember that homeschool families have a $4,000 cap per family, so plan your other curriculum purchases accordingly.
Will the CHOOSE Act expand to more families?
Yes. For 2026-2027, eligibility requires household income at or below 300% of the federal poverty level. Starting in 2027-2028, the income requirement is permanently removed and all Alabama K-12 students become eligible regardless of household income. If you do not currently qualify, check back for the expanded program.
