Check out the Christopher Norton Connections series.  The books are organized in graded levels.  They also come with accompanying recordings which you can play along to. 
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

If you really want to learn to read music, then you have to start reading music.  It will be difficult at first, but you will gradually become more accustomed and skilled at reading.  Learning from videos may be easy for beginner levels, but once you start to get into the intermediate difficulty videos become cumbersome at describing the music. 

Delaying learning to read from sheets isn't going to make things any easier.
