Hello,
One possibility is TELL IT FROM THE TORAH, a 2-volume set by
Pitspopany Press, which has a more traditional presentation. I've
know teachers in non-orthodox schools who have used it.
According to the website for the publisher:
A succinct synopsis of the weekly Torah reading
Rabbinic interpretations
Open-ended questions
An original D'var Torah for the Shabbat table
Gemmatria - the numerical value of words
How the Haftarah relates to the Torah reading
A short humorous anecdote on the Torah reading
The sources, customs and laws of the Jewish Holidays
I have not seen Behrman House's THE EXPLORERS" BIBLE, but it looks
quite interesting.
For an introduction for those who do not like reading, you could try
Chaya Burstein's Kids' Cartoon Bible. It does not have all the
portions, and includes a bit of the Prophets and WRitings too.
