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!

Ryder Lee
/ October 16, 2024when do you think context clues climber 2 will be coming out? me and my friends have been waiting and we are super excited!! and if you could can you put a super cool ending on level 50, maybe like a medal assembly! thank you!
Mr. Morton
/ October 16, 2024Awesome. You guys are the best!
Anyway, I am done with the core game (50 levels and 500 questions), but I am working on some bonus levels to give the player a good reason to collect coins in game.
I’m on level 57 now, I hope I can get it done in less than a month but we’ll see. I have a few other things going on in my life. But yeah, I think you are going to like it when it’s done.
At least I hope so. I left most of the core game mechanics alone and just tried to build on what worked well in the first game.
I like the idea about a better ending. Definitely thinking about that now. Thanks!
ImBoredNTired
/ October 21, 2024I’m guessing you’re going to add 10 bonus levels?Maybe 20-30 harder questions for them as well?Just wanna know so I can get a solid estimate on when it’ll be done because I have high hopes for it.
Mr. Morton
/ November 19, 2024Thank you for your ongoing interest in this game. I added 200 more questions for a total of 700. This portion is now done. I have also completed 8 of the bonus levels. I will create a total of 70 levels for the game. I thought about 80 but I really want to finish it this year.
Thanks again for the feedback, suggestions, and just for playing the games. You are the best!
jeremy
/ October 2, 2024orefhus the lyrical level 3 is impossible even on easy mode can you take out the ghoasts
Aiden B
/ September 24, 2024Hello, Is there a chance you could rework or make another world in the super grammer ninja?
I have beaten this game more than ten times and ive gotten bored and maybe you can rework the final level? If not its okay
Mr. Morton
/ September 24, 2024Hello. Thank you for playing the game. I have been wanting to remake that one for a long time. I do plan on that, and it will take a long time. Check back next year maybe and thanks again!
Aiden B
/ September 18, 2024Will you be able to make another Ninja game?
ImBoredNTired
/ September 17, 2024Hey just wanted to ask since I’m curious and wanna get in game making. What engine do you use, and what coding language does it support?
Mr. Morton
/ September 17, 2024I use ImpactJS.
It’s kind of an old one but it works pretty well still.
It is JavaScript mainly.
You can do it!
Alayla B.
/ September 17, 2024Hello everyone I hope your enjoying Ereading so far!
ImBoredNTired3
/ September 12, 2024I thought of a suggestion for Conflict Cars because it’s almost impossible.So all you really need to fix is just make it to where we can see what’s in front of us.The camera is too zoomed in.Other than that Conflict cars has a lot of potential and is actually pretty fun with the unique drift mechanics.
Mr. Morton
/ September 12, 2024Thanks BTW. Try it now.
https://ereadinggames.com/conflict-cars/
Mr. Morton
/ September 12, 2024I’ve zoomed out 75% more, which I think let’s the player see more of the track.
Then I adjusted all the game-fonts so that it seems to be working pretty well now.
Let me know what you think when you get around to it.
Mr. Morton
/ September 12, 2024It’s funny, because now you can see the CPU controlled cars ZOOM up really quickly when you get far ahead, which you could never see before.
;p
I’m just going to leave it though.
ImBoredNTired
/ September 17, 2024Yeah its a lot better, actually feels possible for once.Thanks.
Mr. Morton
/ September 17, 2024That’s awesome. Thanks for the suggestion!
ImBoredNTired
/ September 12, 2024So I actually thought of a suggestion for the Conflict Car game.A ton of people think it’s impossible and it almost is.The camera is too zoomed in or offset to far off the player.We can barely see in front of us so I’m putting this out there to maybe get your attention and get this fixed?Thanks.
Mr. Morton
/ September 12, 2024Hey, I tried to adjust the zoom a bit on the game.
You might have to refresh the browser one or two times to see the difference.
Let me know if that’s better or if I should zoom it out more.
ImBoredNTired
/ September 12, 2024Hey Mr. Morton just checking to see if the game is done, and since it’s taking so long Im guessing it’s gonna be really good1
odin
/ August 30, 2024I’m wondering the controls because I cant use power ups
Mr. Morton
/ September 12, 2024Which game are you playing?
ImBoredNTired2
/ September 12, 2024I think he mean the power ups in the airplane game maybe? I don’t know.
ImBoredNTired4
/ September 12, 2024Wait no its the ninja game.That has a tad bit weird controls for abilities.
Mr. Morton
/ September 12, 2024Yeah you need a keyboard to play it.
Select using the backpack for spacebar button or just use the numbers.
I’ve thought about redoing that game for a long time now…
Aiden B
/ August 29, 2024Hey, I was wondering when context climbers two is coming out, I’m just wondering cause I’m done with context clues climber one.
Mr. Morton
/ August 29, 2024Thanks for playing!
I have completed 47 of 50 levels.
I was thinking of adding some bonus levels though.
Not sure when I’ll be done but soon I hope. Maybe in the next month?

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
/ December 12, 2023i love grammar ninja and the bee game but can you try to make where you don’t have twenty people rushing on the ninja game pls
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
/ December 5, 2023you should make an irony game and try to make it first-person pls maybe something with puzzles and traps with hidden doors also try and make it free roam so you can explore anywhere in a certain area
ImBoredNTired2
/ November 30, 2023this guy is cool
ImBoredNTired
/ 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.
Mr. Morton
/ February 7, 2024That might be fun.
I will look into it.
Thank you for the suggestion!
unknown
/ November 27, 2023can you make like cool shooting games?

mrs.parms

Mr. Morton

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

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!
