Reimbursement states
Some states do not use a marketplace. You buy Sherwood directly and submit the receipt to your program.
| State | Program | How to buy |
|---|---|---|
| Montana | Office of Public Instruction ESA | Buy direct, submit receipt for reimbursement |
We can provide a receipt or invoice for any purchase. Reimbursement approval is decided by your program, so confirm a reading subscription is covered before you buy.
My state is not listed. What now?
Two options. First, many programs allow reimbursement even without a marketplace, as long as educational subscriptions are an approved expense. Check with your program administrator. Second, tell us. Email hello@sherwoodkids.com with your state and program name. Family requests genuinely help us decide where to apply next, and we want to be in every state we can.
What an ESA subscription includes
No matter which state or platform, a Sherwood subscription is the same:
- Thousands of audiobooks and ebooks chosen for kids
- Word-by-word read-along on titles, so children follow the text as they listen
- A profile for each child, with parent controls
- One family price, no per-child fees
ESA subscriptions are granted as a full year, and new annual subscribers receive a free Bluetooth speaker for screen-free listening.
