Can you help me with this question?

Please tell me if I have chosen the most appropriate answer.

1. It has been recommended that
teachers encourage limited-English
parents to:

A. speak their native language at home.
B. only speak English in the home.
C. speak both languages equally at home.
D. communicate with the children in
English and each other in the
native language.


My text states:

"Reading books aloud in both languages
is encouraged.Edwards, Fear,and Gallege,
(1995)advise preschool practitioners
not to suggest that limited-English
speaking parents speak English at home".


If I am understanding my text correctly,
would:
(A)speak their native language at home.

Is this the best answer?

Based on the information provided in your text, the most appropriate answer would be A. "speak their native language at home." In your text, it states that preschool practitioners should not suggest that limited-English speaking parents speak English at home. This suggests that it is recommended for the parents to speak their native language at home. So, yes, your understanding of the text is correct, and A is indeed the best answer in this case.
