What do you do to improve your sight reading? ::)

Sorry, what exactly is a hymn book , is that like Bach Corals...

I realized that memory doesn't get well along with first sight reading, those who have a terrific memory are not always good readers, and those who read easily have some problems in memorizing...I think I belong to the first group.
