first sight reading

Hi everybody,

I'm Elena, a new member from Italy...
Since I'm making a search on "first sight reading" I would like to collect your impressions/experience on it!
What do you do to improve your sight reading?

Ciao !!

well reading from a hymn book is pretty easy. thats what i do 2 improve my sightreading in general. but of course you have 2 start with sight reading all the music u memorize or u wouldn't know what it was:)

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.
