Go to your local music store and have the clerk show you to some music of various levels. Maybe some Disney songbooks or popular songs that you like that are not too difficult. Find stuff that is just barely on the difficult side for you to play. Also get some classical music. You could probably play a handful of Chopin prèludes as well as some Bach. "Bach for Beginners" published by Boosey and Hawkes in a few books is a great start. Also look into something like sonatina album published by Schirmer. Here's a few links:

Just find a bunch of stuff right around or slightly above your level and practice sightreading. Just leaf through pages and try playing this page, or that page... eventually you'll get better and faster at sightreading. Practice is the only way.
