Students love playing games. Teachers love when students learn. When you put the two together, you get Ereading Games. As a reading teacher, I struggled to find reading games that were both educational and fun, so I developed my own. Now students around the world can play these games for free on any Internet connected computer.
Here’s how Ereading Games work. The rewarding gameplay gets students involved. They want to explore the levels and unlock secrets. But when they make in-game mistakes, students have to answer reading questions correctly or face in-game penalties. This provides students with an instant incentive to learn. They aren’t learning because of a grade that is seven weeks away; they are learning because they will “die” right now if they don’t. Students have fun and meet learning goals. Everybody wins when students play these reading games.
Players fly through 50 levels, pollinating flowers and fighting insects. Students will answer over 600 word choice questions to help them master homophones. They sting and dodge dangerous insects, and if they get hit, they must answer a homophone question correctly or start over. This is a fun, engaging, and educational adventure. Check it out now!
Students choose one of 15 different vehicles and race in 5 different circuits. Players zoom past CPU players and answer hundreds of questions about literary conflict along the way. When they bump into another vehicle, they must answer the question correctly or spin out. Some of the vehicles (like an ice-cream truck and a dune buggy) must be unlocked. Students practice reading skills while trying to score the fastest time on each track. Check it out now!
Students play as a unicorn in this bright, colorful reading game. They rainbow blast their way through hordes of evil knights and wizards and jump over challenging obstacles. This game features hundreds of challenging idioms. Students will gain exposure to these commonly used phrases and decode meanings based on context-rich sentences. This one is a lot of fun!
Climb mountains. Fight beasts. Answer hundreds of vocabulary questions. Context Clues Climber has classic platform action with some cool new moves. Players can climb on the ceilings, hang from the walls, and break bricks with a pickaxe. They will have so much fun playing through 50 mountainous levels, they won’t even notice how many new words they are learning. Everyone wins this game.
Play Context Clues Climber Now
Students play as a fish trying to make it to a lighthouse. Eat worms, hide in the weeds, and answer HUNDREDS of questions about literary genre. Did I mention that players occasionally transform into a giant fish that rules the waters? Or that you have to shoot yourself out of a cannon and blast through brick walls? It’s a lot of fun. This game is mobile-friendly.
Students blast through space in this awesome arcade-style shooter. Collect advanced power-ups, charge attacks, and identify the narrator’s perspective in hundreds of questions. The game starts out simple. Students just identify whether each passage narrated from first, second, or third-person perspective. But as the levels progress, students must soon distinguish between objective, limited, and omniscient modes of narration as well. This game is mobile-friendly.
Play as a cat who can climb up walls. Collect all of the yarn balls to pass each level, but beware of dogs. This game has bouncy mechanics and a fun, cartoon feel to it. Also, students will identify HUNDREDS of figurative language techniques and poetic devices as they play through the game. Students and teachers really seem to like this one. It is my most popular reading game. This game is tablet-friendly.
Journey through 5 environments. Battle the most powerful warriors in the world. Learn parts of speech and sentence structure. Super Grammar Ninja combines elements of classic platform games like Megaman and Castlevania and adds language arts instruction. It’s a winning package. Students will battle bosses and unlock secret ninja attacks. They will also answer hundreds of questions about sentence structure and the parts of speech.
Students must guide Orpheus through the underworld to save his beloved. He charms and subdues the beasts and monsters with the sorrow of his song. He collects power-ups and unlocks abilities, and he answers hundreds of figurative language questions. This was the first reading game that I ever made, way back in 2010. If you compare it to my newer games, you can see that I’ve grown as a programmer. Nonetheless, this is still one of my most popular games. Beat the whole game and you can unlock a sidekick.
I hope that your students have as much fun playing these games as I did making them. I tried to do right by both the classroom and the gameroom. If you want to let me know how I did, sound off in the comments. I am continuing to develop new reading games. Next up: Context Clues Climber! Of course, I’d love to make a text structure game too. I better get back to work. Thanks for playing!

TeeDee
/ December 14, 2023My remedial students LOVED playing this!! Very fun as a small group, or even as individuals.
HIGHLY recommend it!!
My only question is: Is there a possibility that this can be made to be conducive with Chromebooks, maybe using the letter keys?
Our school is student Chromebooks, and I would love to be able to allow them their own screen times.
Thanks!
Mr. Morton
/ December 19, 2023They should be able to use the arrow keys and space bar to play most of the games. Thanks for checking them out!
camdyn

Mr. Morton
/ December 19, 2023I would like to redevelop the ninja game someday, and add sound effects, and make it more like a MetroidVania game.
One day…
gamemaster mike

/ November 30, 2023The car game is too hard and also what are you working on now?
Mr. Morton
/ December 19, 2023I am making Context Clues Climber 2. Sorry about that! Thanks for playing!
ImBoredNTired
/ February 6, 2024Whats Context Clues Climber 2 gonna have?I already pretty much mastered the first one.
Mr. Morton
/ February 7, 2024That’s awesome.
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
The new game will have more levels, more questions, more monsters, a special charge attack for the player, and a couple other surprises.
I am trying to leave the fun, playground-like mechanics pretty much untouched, which is what made the first game so fun I think.
Here, check out this guy:
ImBoredNTired
/ February 7, 2024Thats crazy that actually looks amazing compared to the first one.When do you think it will be released?
Mr. Morton
/ February 7, 2024Thank you.
Most of the graphics will be roughly the same but the level backgrounds will be a little better (IMO),
and the new enemies like the snow king look pretty cool.
I hope by the end of the school year I can put it on the site.
Working on it now…
ImBoredNTired
/ February 7, 2024Last thing, I have a funny suggestion.It would be cool if you could Mario jump on the birds to eliminate them.

You helped me and my fellow buddies get thru 2 grades and will never forget this website and especially Context Clues Climber. I hope to see and 2nd one in the future. So thank you very very very much! Me and my classmates love this website and will never forget it!
Mr. Morton
/ October 26, 2023Thank you, Ryder. I am working on the second CCC right now. Thank you for playing and taking the time to comment!
gamemaster
/ August 21, 2023hi, im commeting regarding some of your games. almost all of your games have glitches orphias the lyical if you get the fly shoe you can fly off of the screen and never die. pls try and fix your games
Mr. Morton
/ October 26, 2023I am aware of this and thought it would be a cool Easter egg to allow the player to do that. This is no longer possible after level 2, when all the levels are enclosed. Best wishes!
