Break out the hard copy!
Digital works great, but there is a lot of value in knowing how to navigate a hard copy of the Bible! (If you need one, shoot Kristen a text at (334)791-0995 and she'll get you one!)
Use the table of contents to find books and practice looking up the verses and passages together.
Pick a kids friendly translation
Your grandma's New King James Version is a 12th grade reading level, which might be a little discouraging for your elementary aged student!
We love The International Children's Bible (or ICB)! It's written at a second grade reading level which makes it a great resource for younger (and young at heart) readers
New International Readers Version (NIRV) is also a good option at a 2nd or 3rd grade reading level
New International Version (NIV) is a 7th grade reading level and English Standard Version (ESV) is a 10th grade reading level.
Make it fun!
