Correct Response: A. Research shows that possessing and reading books at home is linked to academic success. Additionally, students who are literate in their first languages have proven to be successful in learning English as a second language and also tend to develop second-language literacy skills more rapidly. B is incorrect because, although reading with a child in their first language at home is beneficial, it does not necessarily promote collaboration between the teacher and the family. C is incorrect because the reading and the discussions take place in the family's first language and therefore do not provide the opportunity for adults to develop English academic-language skills. D is incorrect because the family's first-language interactions about a book written in the first language are not likely to be focused on analyzing or making comparisons between the first language and English but rather on discussing the text.
