Hi!

I'm from Portugal too!  :D
Last year I had sightreading lessons in my course. Our teacher made us read Bach's Chorals and Inventios (also orchestral suites, 4 hands version), Schubert's Lieder, some Czerny, 4-hand pieces by Schubert, Kavalevsky, Carlos Seixas, Scarlatti...  and lots more, but I don't remember right now. The sky is your limit!
Everything from Bach is great to read at first sight and why not to try "Cravistas Portugueses"?
There are several books with exercises related to this matter (our teacher used some in our classes), you can find them here:

Best regards,
Carla

This piece was written by Ravel for that purpose :

" On ne joue pas du piano avec deux mains : on joue avec dix doigts. Chaque doigt doit être une voix qui chante"
