I've just learned of a new site at Cornell; intended for students  
with one or two years of Classical Greek background, it nevertheless  
includes readings from the GNT and looks useful for students of  
ancient Greek generally.

The blurb: "Let's Review Greek! is a website from Cornell College  
which brings together a range of useful resources designed to help  
the student of ancient Greek to revise their knowledge of the  
language independently. It states that it is aimed primarily at  
students who have been learning Greek for one or two years. Although  
much of its content is drawn from external websites (such as Perseus)  
the site is organised in such a way as to make it much easier for  
users to access manageable and relevant chunks of information  
quickly. A section on Greek grammar, language and culture gives links  
to pages on the alphabet, syntax and grammatical forms, as well as  
background information on Greek society. Further sections are  
entitled 'Easy Readings' and 'Intermediate Readings' and contain  
links to bite-sized extracts from original Greek texts (including New  
Testament works) which are selected in order to encourage students to  
practise reading the ancient language. Each extract is designed to  
take between fifteen and thirty minutes. "
