Easy Latin Stories by George L. Bennett was published in 1878 and offers the reader a large collection of very short narratives drawn from mythology and history. (The PDF may be found at Archive here: https://archive.org/details/bennet-george-easy-latin-stories-for-beginners-1878/ ).
In this series for Senātōrēs Tier Patrons, each section is recited three times:
I. The first is a medium-slow recitation. Try to listen for key words.
II. The second provides a pause after each phrase to allow the listener to repeat (or mull over what has just been heard).
III. The third and final recitation is at what I think of as "natural pace" — this is likely too fast for most beginners, but that is its object: to expose the listener to a more fluid, rapid speech, which should nevertheless be somewhat easier to understand now that the one has heard the recitation three times.
I recommend listening to each audio recording twice:
1) The first time, listen only, and repeat after the pauses as desired. Do not look at the text. This is build listening skills through ear training. It will prepare you to read the text more easily.
2) Read along with the narrative as you listen, repeating as desired after pauses.
Another recommended exercise is to take dictation: as you hear each phrase, do your best to write it down (feel free to pause as necessary). Do your best to hear the long vowels and write the macrons.
One more recommended exercise: print out the text, and add the macrons to the long vowels where you hear them. Like most printed Latin texts, the macrons are not written, but let this be a learning opportunity: write them yourself, and learn where they go in every word. Confirm your guesses with Wiktionary. In time, you'll be come a master of listening, speaking, and writing!
