See Where They Stand. Watch Them Grow.
Everything your K-5 reader needs to build fluency—covered by your Arizona ESA
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 Arizona schools use to identify students who need reading intervention.
Practice That Targets Their Actual Weak Spots
Skills Lab builds exercises around your child's specific trouble words—not generic worksheets. Phonics practice, modeled reading, and vocabulary work they can do independently while you handle the rest of your day.
Watch Their Progress Week Over Week
Clear charts show whether your child is on track, above, or below grade level compared to national Hasbrouck and Tindal benchmarks. You see growth trends over time—not just a single snapshot.
Fresh Reading Passages at the Right Level
AI generates new reading passages matched to your child's exact grade level for every assessment. They are always reading something new, not memorizing the same passage and reciting it back.
A Parent Dashboard That Actually Helps
Every assessment score, every trouble word, every trend line—in one place. You get the data you need to make confident decisions about your child's reading instruction without deciphering complicated reports.
$99 Out of Your $7,000+ ESA Balance
Arizona ESA families typically receive $7,000-$8,000 per year. ReadingFluency costs $99—roughly 1% of your balance. We generate your ClassWallet invoice instantly, formatted exactly the way the program requires.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Arizona Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA)?
The Arizona ESA gives your family a portion of what the state would have spent on your child in public school—typically $7,000 to $8,000 per year depending on your district. Those funds go into a ClassWallet account you control. You can spend them on approved educational expenses including curriculum, tutoring, therapy, and instructional materials like ReadingFluency. Every Arizona K-12 student is eligible regardless of income, prior school enrollment, or location.
How do I use my ESA funds with ReadingFluency?
Three steps: Fill out our enrollment form (2 minutes), download your ClassWallet-ready invoice (instant), and upload it to ClassWallet under Curriculum/Instructional Materials. Once ClassWallet approves the invoice—typically a few business days—your child has full access for the school year. The form, the invoice, and the upload take about five minutes.
Who is eligible for an Arizona ESA?
Every Arizona K-12 student who is eligible to enroll in an Arizona public school. There is no income requirement. Your child must be an Arizona resident and at least 5 years old by January 1st of the school year to qualify as kindergarten. Students cannot participate if they are receiving a scholarship from an Arizona tuition credit organization (TCS).
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.
Is $99/year worth it when I have $7,000+ in my ESA?
ReadingFluency costs about 1% of a typical Arizona ESA balance. For context, one hour of private reading tutoring runs $40-80. For $99, your child gets unlimited AI-scored assessments, personalized Skills Lab practice, AI-generated reading passages, and a full year of progress tracking—the equivalent of roughly 12 tutoring sessions. Your ESA pays for it entirely, so there is no out-of-pocket cost to you.
How long does ClassWallet approval take?
Typically a few business days. We format your invoice to match exactly what ClassWallet expects for Curriculum/Instructional Materials—the correct vendor details, service dates, and category codes—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.
Is ReadingFluency an approved ESA vendor?
Yes. ReadingFluency is approved for Arizona ESA funding under Curriculum and Instructional Materials. We generate ClassWallet-formatted invoices that meet all Arizona Department of Education requirements. You do not need to request vendor approval separately—just upload the invoice.
What is the Arizona ESA fiscal year?
July 1 through June 30. ESA funds are distributed quarterly through ClassWallet. Your ReadingFluency subscription covers a full year of service, and our invoices include the correct service dates automatically so they align with the fiscal year.
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. Each child uses their own ESA balance.
What if I need help?
Our support team will walk you through enrollment and ClassWallet submission. For questions about your ClassWallet balance or ESA account, contact the Arizona ESA team directly at ESAClassWallet@azed.gov or (602) 364-1969.
