Hambaanglaang (冚唪唥粵文讀本)

What it actually is

A Hong Kong community project publishing story books written in real Cantonese (粵文, not standard written Chinese), graded step by step and split into a series for all ages and one written specifically for teens and adults, with a video and an audio recording for every book plus lesson plans for teachers. Reading it all online is free; printed sets are sold to fund the project. This is the graded-reading resource Cantonese has always lacked, but the site is Cantonese-first and awkward to navigate, and written Cantonese looks alien at first even if you read Chinese.
