I am looking for resources to progress in Latin reading. In particular, I would like a set of texts (for example short stories or fables) whose difficulty increases as you go along.

A very good option would be A Little Latin Reader by Mary C. English and Georgia Irby-Massie.
The Bryn Mawr Classical Review had the following to say about it:
In 50 short chapters, English and Irby have assembled over 200 passages (2-10 lines in length) of authentic Latin arranged in order of increasing difficulty of the grammatical or syntactical concept being emphasized. In Chapters 1-46, passages are drawn from Caesar, Catullus, Cicero, Horace, Livy, Martial, Ovid, Tacitus, and Vergil and from Latin inscriptions that treat aspects of daily life in the Roman world.

Do you know if this has a digital version available? I've found paperback editions available from various places, but didn't find a digital version for Google Books or Amazon Kindle. – Adam Nov 21 '20 at 20:25

@Adam No, I'm afraid I don't know anything about a digital version of it. – Expedito Bipes Nov 21 '20 at 20:54
