Some time ago I mentioned that Sidgwick's "Greek Prose Composition" started
at such an advanced level that it was discouraging. Carl W. Conrad
responded that "Greek Prose Composition" by North & Hillard was easier.
I've also found that there is a "Key to Greek Prose Composition" by North &
Hillard which gives answers to their "Greek Prose Composition." North &
Hillard reviews a point or two of grammar and then gives some English to
Greek exercises for one to do. It also has a special vocabulary review for
each set of exercises. Although I've just started working through the book,
the exercises appear to graduated -- starting out with very simple
sentences and gradually becoming more complex. There are 175 exercises
which roughly contain on average 10 sentences or one paragraph.

FWIW: I'm neither a clergy-person, nor an academic (and I have no post-grad
degrees).
