 Use a KJV Holy Bible.  Have the child read the passages.  Use a children's bible story book like Ergermeir to come up with some questions.  Also use a modern day secular reading skills book to help develop questions which apply to the category given and which lead the student to comprehend what he or she is reading.  (Note: secular schools will reference knowledge about buddah and emphasize no importance or great importance.   and other non-biblical themes...this is why we need private or home schools)

Level One: Passages Four to Six verses long,  Five write in answers and five multiple choice or true false answers.  Child recalls information about what was read and then copy-work from what the child understands.  Spend about 30 minutes per day on subject matter.

Level Two: Passages One or Two Chapters long.  Three write in answers and 7 multiple choice or TF answers.  Child recalls information by writing in cursive writing journal 2 to 4 paragraphs in length.  Spend about 1 hour per day on subject matter.  If need practice in writing, spend an additional 30-45 minutes writing practice.

Level Three: Passages up to three chapters long.  Three write in answers with more thought.  10 multiple choice or TF answers.  Reflection papers which are at least 2 notebook pages in length.  Well written expression of understanding.  Spend about 1 hour per day on subject matter.
