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.
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!

Mr. Morton
/ April 14, 2023Hello. It works for me. Can you describe what’s happening on your end and maybe I can help you?
Some people don’t know that you have to swim to move, and you swim by pressing the space bar. Is that the issue that you are having? Or does the game not load for you?
Bennett

Your local student
/ March 22, 2023Hi! I was thinking you could maybe do a resteraunt one? Where you take orders and give them to the chef, and after the food is ready if you give the food to the wrong customer you have to answer a question? Kind of like a memory game! Oh! And, you can use conjunctions for he subject! 😀

Mr. Morton
/ February 13, 2023I am making a Bee game right now that I think will be a lot of fun, and then a lot of people requested sequels to the Context Clues Climber game, but a Zombie / Survival game sounds really cool and maybe I could make something like that too. Thank you for your suggestions and interest!

/ February 9, 2023Hi, this site was sooooo helpful because I had to do an assignment for Reading class in Dysart at the Middle School and I needed help so I looked up this site and it helped me out!!!!!!!
kiki
/ February 7, 2023you should make one that teaches you to spell
LVL1123
/ February 7, 2023I cant get past level 36 on Context Clues Climber.. the one ice block at the top of the level before you get to the finish is really hard to land on.
Mr. Morton
/ February 7, 2023You can do it!
LVL1123
/ February 9, 2023I finally did after 3+ days!
Mr. Morton
/ February 9, 2023Congratulations! You earned it. And, I knew you could do it.
izavier
/ February 7, 2023why is the contex clues so hard
Auli
/ February 6, 2023Hi Mr.Morton
Mr. Morton
/ February 9, 2023Hi!
Auli.P
/ February 6, 2023You should make a game where there is a zombie apocolypse and the questions should be about metaphors,personification,similes and hyperboles. 🙂
Mr. Morton
/ February 9, 2023That’s a cool idea, thanks!
maria
/ February 2, 2023the car game is so hard
Mr. Morton
/ February 2, 2023Really?
What do you find hard about it?
Are the cars hard to control?
Are the races hard to win?
Are the questions hard to answer?
Maybe I can improve it.
Mr. Morton
/ February 2, 2023Oh also, the Grass tracks are the easiest, so maybe you should start there?
anonymous
/ February 13, 2023The cars are very hard to control in the race game. The controls are just confusing. maybe you can make it so that the person views their car it is from the back so left=left and right=right because when it’s 2D it’s not really easy to remember which key is which. So when you pull the game up you don’t see the top of the car, you see the back of it.
Mr. Morton
/ February 13, 2023Yeah, that’s a good suggestion. I don’t think I can remake the whole control scheme but it might help to visualize turning the cars like the hands of a clock.
Forward always goes forward, left and right will always rotate the car like the hands of a clock. Anyway, thanks for trying it!
Trenton
/ January 24, 2023when are you gonna make a context clues climbers 2?
