Yes — in a growing number of states you can use ESA and school-choice scholarship funds to pay for Sherwood, a kids' reading app with thousands of parent-vetted audiobooks, ebooks, and read-alongs for ages 0–16. Sherwood is an approved vendor through ClassWallet (Arizona, Arkansas, New Hampshire, North Carolina, South Carolina), Odyssey (Utah Fits All; Wyoming launching soon), and Theo Learning (West Virginia Hope, Utah Children First) — and families in other states can buy direct and submit for reimbursement. Approval is decided by each program, not by Sherwood.
Many states now give families scholarship dollars to spend on approved educational products — and a reading subscription like Sherwood qualifies in a growing number of them. Depending on your state, you'll either buy through a marketplace (ClassWallet or Odyssey), through Theo Learning, or pay directly and submit your receipt for reimbursement.
One honest note: approval is decided by your program, not by us. If your state isn't listed, you may still be able to buy direct and submit for reimbursement — check with your program administrator first, and email us so we can apply to your state.
