Purchase Lexia Core5 for Home Using ESA Funds
Families with Education Savings Account funds can use them to purchase Lexia Core5 for home use through Family Literacy Centers, the only authorized home-use reseller of Lexia Learning programs. Here is everything you need to know to get started.
What Is an ESA and How Does It Work for Lexia at Home?
An Education Savings Account (ESA) is a state-funded account that gives families control over how their education dollars are spent. Depending on your state, ESA funds can be used for curriculum, online learning programs, and supplemental instructional materials, all categories that Lexia for Home qualifies under.
Because Lexia Learning only sells directly to school districts, families cannot purchase directly through Lexia Learning. Family Literacy Centers is the official, authorized reseller for Lexia Core5 home use and all other Lexia programs. That means your ESA purchase goes through Family Literacy Centers, and your receipt is fully documentable for reimbursement or direct wallet purchase, depending on your state’s process.
How to Purchase Lexia Core5 for Home with ESA Funds
Your ESA funds are yours to use. Here is exactly how to put them toward a Lexia license in a few straightforward steps:
Step 1: Check if Family Literacy Centers is in your state’s portal.
Log in to your state’s ESA marketplace: ClassWallet, Odyssey, Merit, or whichever platform your state uses. Search for Family Literacy Centers; if it appears as an approved vendor, you can purchase directly from your digital wallet without any out-of-pocket cost.
Step 2: If not listed, purchase and request reimbursement.
Buy your license at lexiaforhome.com, save your itemized receipt, and submit it to your state’s ESA board for reimbursement. Most states process approved curriculum purchases quickly.
Step 3: Categorize your purchase correctly.
When submitting for approval or reimbursement, label the expense as “Curriculum,” “Online Learning Program,” or “Supplemental Instructional Material.” This is the categorization most states use for programs like Lexia.
Step 4: Verify your state’s approved list before buying.
If you’re going the reimbursement route, quickly check your state’s unapproved items list first to avoid a denied claim. A two-minute check can save a lot of back-and-forth.
A note on Science of Reading requirements:
Several states require ESA-funded reading programs to align with the Science of Reading or explicit phonics instruction. Lexia Core5 and the rest of our programs are fully qualified and widely approved for dyslexia intervention, so if your state has these requirements, you’re in good shape.
Prices start at:
$175 USD for a one-year subscription — first student
$110 USD for each additional student license
Your child’s reading program is already funded. All that’s left is getting started.
