Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Teacher and Parent accounts?

Whether you select a Teacher or Parent account depends on how you will use Bright Islands Complete Comprehension (CoCo). If you're using Bright Islands CoCo in a classroom with students, then you would need a Teacher account. If, however, you're using Bright Islands CoCo at home with your own children, then a Parent account is what you need. Both types of account have access to the same content, in the same interactive format, but Teacher accounts have access to features that are specific to working with classrooms and larger groups of students.

The Teacher account allows the teacher to focus on administering students and their performance in the classroom. The main features of a Teacher account include student management; access to student, class & school reports; a complete student activity overview; and student assessment completion notifications.

The Parent account has all the same functionalities as the Teacher account, except for features specifically concerned with schools and classrooms.

Is there any limit on how many Student and Teacher accounts I can create during the trial?

There are no limits on how many Teacher and Student accounts your school can create during the trial period. You also have full access to the program, including all reading levels. Each account can access nine (9) reading levels.

What will happen when the trial ends?

Bright Islands Complete Comprehension (CoCo) does not offer automatic renewal. You may continue to use Bright Islands CoCo by upgrading your trial subscription to a premium subscription.

All your data and progress will be kept safe if you choose to continue with the program, allowing a smooth transition into one of our paid subscription options without the need to re-enter data.

Additional features in the paid subscription include instant complete reporting and information on next steps in instruction outlined in the student summary report. This provides explicit instruction for teachers to improve individual students’ reading strategy performance.

Any trial account that is not renewed will be scheduled to be permanently erased.

DISCOVER WHY TEACHERS AND PARENTS RAVE ABOUT BRIGHT ISLANDS COCO!

  • I've found Bright Islands CoCo has really helped in improving my children's reading skills. The skills were all clearly presented with a lot of samples and practice opportunities. The student report also gives the parents a clear guide as to which areas need reinforcement and which areas each child is strong in.

    Shannon Zhao

    Parent from Sydney

  • This differentiated program allows students to read texts which are at a level suitable for their current ability and leads to students being more engaged in reading lessons. As a result, they can experience success and improve their reading and comprehension abilities. Bright Islands CoCo is an important part of the English program and we are seeing fantastic improvement across all years in students' reading and comprehension abilities.

    Linda Samardali

    Head of Department from Kinross College

  • We are really finding Bright Islands CoCo to be brilliant for our learners and teachers.

    Hailey Joubert

    Head of Primary School from Leibler Yavneh College

  • I have found Bright Islands CoCo very beneficial, especially during our time teaching and learning remotely. The ability to track live what the students are doing was helpful to ensure that they were remaining on task and to provide feedback.

    Brent Ritchie

    Teacher from Haileybury

  • Now that I understand how to use the online program and utilise the tools correctly, I am enjoying using Bright Islands CoCo. The ability to locate and download the different reports is phenomenal!

    Amber Rains

    Teacher from Kambala

  • I am a bit of a technophobe but using Bright Islands CoCo has certainly made life easier and the kids have found it easy to navigate.

    Jo Oram

    Teacher from Prescott College Southern

  • Bright Islands CoCo has become a very useful tool for my staff to implement effective teaching and learning programs. Having a tool that gives timely assessment results, meets students at their level of need and allows them to see exactly what students are working on in real-time is time effective and impacts on future goals.


    The detailed assessment data generated by Bright Islands CoCo informs the specific direction of their reading and comprehension teaching. Students report they enjoy the tasks and feel a real sense of accomplishment as they work through the lessons and assessments at their own pace.

    Craig Brown

    Principal from Toongabbie Public School

  • Our teachers are really enjoying Bright Islands CoCo and what it offers.

    Sharon McMorrow

    Principal from Yarrilee State School

  • Bright Islands CoCo has been an incredible teaching tool in my classroom for the last three years. Comprehension has always been an aspect that has been a little challenging for my students. Having a targeted program that is specific and explicit to the needs of comprehension strategies has been an absolute lifesaver! Bright Islands CoCo have boosted my students comprehension skills incredibly and consistently every year I have taught it.


    The pre and post tests are super handy and the comprehensive online breakdown of my students abilities and results are very handy when working on our next topic. The online aspect of Bright Islands CoCo is so detailed.


    Overall, it is super easy to administer and teach and very student driven! I'm a huge advocate!

    Julia Gatt

    Teacher from Metella Road Public School

  • Our school has all the Bright Islands CoCo resources on a weekly basis. We have a timetabled program for when we do Benchmarks and eventually Post Tests, which are spread over the year. We record these online when they have been completed. We enjoy the program and use it all the time!
