Interestingly the Gaelic medium education doesn't seem to have effected his English reading and writing at all compared to the kids that are in the non-Gaelic part of the school.

His English skills will probably improve as he studies Gaelic. I've noticed that effect with my students, although they take French, Spanish and German.

I seem to recall there being studies that show those that study a 2nd language (regardless what it is) do better with their primary language, the theory being that learning a 2nd language helps understand the structure of language better.
