Just to be precise, the term "sight reading" is being used here to indicate reading standard musical notation as opposed to tabs. But "sight reading" really refers to someone who already knows how to read standard musical notation, who picks up some sheet music and just plays it immediately on sight without preparation, prior study, analysis, and slow practice working through the piece. Classical guitarists, and in fact musicians of all kinds, practice sight reading as part of their daily practice routine. As for recommendations, I second Chiste de Gales' suggestion to use classical guitar methods. An old friend of mine, the late Frederick Noad, a classical guitarist, wrote a really good book entitled, "Solo Guitar Playing," that I think would be perfect for your purposes. It's available in paperback. http://www.amazon.com/Solo-Guitar-Playing-Book-Classical/dp/0825694000
