Encourge him not to give up his Russian completely. If he is biliterate it will be an advantage to him as an adult, perhaps opening doors for employment. Now that he is in school in the US he will do fine in English, but I would encourage him to read some every day in Russian like age appropriate and ability level novels and speak it with anyone with whom he has the opportunity so he doesn't forget. It is a skill few in this country will have and may give him a leg up. Many immigrant families encourage their children to speak their native language at home to retain fluency while learning English at school. This will be harder as you probably don't know Russian. Maybe he can teach you! God bless.
