A. Schools can use written materials about television to explore its place in today's culture and to teach reading, writing, and thinking skills.

Explanation:

This is the option that best identifies the author's main claim in the text. The purpose of the text is to explore whether television can be used in English classes to develop the same skills that literature develops. The conclusion that the author reaches is that, although television is a very different source of information, written materials about it can still be used in the classroom to develop reading, teaching and thinking skills.
