All good advice - thought I would add my 2 cents as well -
Thomas L Davis at the Univ of Iowa used to say "If you want to get better at sight reading, you have to practice sight reading - just like any other technique, instrument, or piece." He laid out only a few simple rules to help students build "reading chops":
1) Start with two mallet music, work your way up as your accuracy improves. (Seemingly "simple" music is great for reading exercises at faster tempi.)
2) 1st time through, you can stop at mistakes, identify potential sticking "problem areas" etc., make corrections and continue.
3) Second time through, play at a resonable tempo (based on the work and what you learn from #2) & try to keep going through mistakes.
4) Third time through same tempo, or slightly faster but you must keep your eyes moving and continue through mistakes, as you would need to do in performance)
5) After reading something three times, you are now "learning" the piece - move on to something else!
Food for thought - many good readers came out of that studio!
