My question is how do we improve his English, given his age of 9. My
first thought is that he needs to just find something that he likes to
read about and read a lot more. I think that simply reading good books
(good as in, giving some examples of good use of the language) is
already a big help.



Reading will help a lot. I read lots of books when I was a kid.

I took the SAT test in 1974 or 5 when 750/750 was the limit.


I'm curious, Wes. Where did you hear that the max scores in '74 or '75 were
750/750? I've never heard this. I thought that they were always 800/800,
until the recent revision of the system into three parts.


It wasn't. That's when I took the SAT; the range was 200-800.
