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
Penelope hands you the gadget before you’ve realised you need it. She has never once been surprised by a mission: agents walk into her lab, she hands them something strange and says “you’ll be needing this.” Hours later, halfway up a drainpipe, they find out she was right.
That's not magic - that's prediction: watching what's already happened and thinking right, so what's coming? She built the Bone-Com. She built the Link Lens. She has also built a great many things that exploded, which is why the Gadget Lab has its own fire door and why she is extremely cheerful about failure.
Gadget // The Grappling Pen
It looks like a pen. It is a pen. It is also a grappling hook, a torch, and - Penelope claims - a very good pen.
Reading skill // Prediction
Using clues in the story to work out what will happen next.
NC DOMAIN 2e
In the app: every prediction question your child answers is a Penelope question.
