From AgentChamp™
Six agents. Six skills. One squad - and every question in the app belongs to one of them.
Deep beneath the Champ Academy, six agents run the most unusual division in the service. They don't chase villains across rooftops. They don't escape through air vents with three seconds to spare. They do something far more difficult. They read.
Incoming transmission // Champ Academy HQ
Every mission begins the same way - with a message, a letter, a diary, a story. Someone has to work out what it actually means. Who's telling the truth. What's coming next. What the strange word in the third paragraph is hiding.
That's what the CHAMPS do. And it's what your child is training to do, too.
The story, the gadget, the catchphrase - and the reading skill behind each one.

The CHAMPS framework
Most reading schemes teach skills children can't name. AgentChamp gives every skill a face, a voice and a catchphrase - so when a child says “that's a Hunter question,” they're telling you they can identify retrieval.
These aren't six characters we invented and then attached to a curriculum. They are the curriculum.
Together they cover every KS2 reading content domain, 2a-2h - nothing tested at the end of Key Stage 2 falls outside the squad. What the eight domains actually assess.

Every mission ends with a debrief built on these six skills. Schools register free - parents and tutors can sign up directly. Start reading, and meet the squad in the field.

Field notes
Annie doesn’t sit at mission control. Annie is mission control, and she carries it on her back: a scuffed green rucksack trailing a fistful of coloured leads, an aerial that by rights should not work, and a smoothie roughly the size of a small dog. She is the calm, fast, unbothered voice in every agent’s ear, usually while walking somewhere else.
She is not interested in what happened - every agent in the building can tell you what happened. Annie wants the thing underneath. Why did that character do that? Why is that word there and not another one? What was the writer up to? It is the hardest question in the Academy, she asks it of everyone, and she has never once accepted “because it just is”.
Gadget // The Analysis Rig
The rucksack, the leads and the screen are one machine. Clip a lead to a page and the rig takes the story apart into its working parts - who wants what, which word is doing the heavy lifting, where the writer quietly put a thumb on the scale - then throws the lot up into the air where the whole squad can see it. Annie can do every bit of that in her head. Penelope built the rig so the rest of the squad doesn’t have to take her word for it.
Reading skill // Analysis
Explaining how and why a writer has made the choices they've made.
