Sight reading gets better through exposure to music you have not seen, so the routine that works is short, daily, and never repeats a passage. Here is one that takes ten minutes. The reader below is step two; it picks up at the level you last read, or level 2 if this is your first time.

Preparing your passage…
Fluent readers are not decoding faster; they are recognising more. A scale run, a broken chord, a cadence, a repeated rhythm: each one becomes a single glance instead of six decisions, and that only comes from seeing a lot of different music. Ten minutes a day puts seventy short passages in front of you each week. An hour on Sunday tends to become a long session on three passages, with tired eyes for the last forty minutes.
Daily reading should feel slightly easy. If every passage is a struggle you will skip tomorrow, and the routine is worth more than any single session. The rule of thumb is to read about two levels below what you are learning to play; the exercises by level guide explains what that means at each stage.
