I never found any. Just read every day. If you ever stop, you lose it quickly. Another difficulty with playing written music on the guitar is that the same note is repeated multiple times on the neck. Classical guitar music has little a circled number that designate the fret position but you NEVER see that in a score. Sight reading usually requires you to be able to read ahead of what you're playing and is it's own skill to be developed. Keep at it and be confident you can do it. It's just a graph.
