I don't think having tests in other languages will work very well, because very likely the children's reading and writing skills in their parents' language or languages are far worse than in English. I think it's important that parents work with their kids or that kids who have very busy parents have the opportunity to have a mentor help them with their work. If kids read more (even if it's online) and watch television shows that are "useful" (i.e. The Discovery Channel, History, PBS, etc) then they'll pick things up too. There really aren't things that cultures can keep you from picking up if you read enough.
