1. Talk with the teacher when the school is opened.
2. Downloaded some English courses for children and began to teach him.
3. Try to find more ways from Community or library or some other places to help him.

I guess that is not a problem at all. My friend is worrying his son because he don't like any Chinese things.

You can teach him some basic words.....but usually he can pick up English in 2 to 3 months, and 6 months later he would rather to speak English unless you force him to speak Chinese
TV programs: Teletoon(45), YTV(25), TreeHouse....

you can encourage him to watch TV as much as he likes at this moment. Later on, you have to set a limit on the time and schedule. Kids like the TV too much. It took only 6 months for my daughter to catch up the regular grade 2 class here when she was 7 years old.
