getchell book 1 & 2 or the early hering books (forgot their titles).
first, read through the etude (or just a line at a time) humming/singing while fingering. then play. by book's end you'll be able to play these by sight, then move to something harder.
do you memorize rhythm patterns? that helps.

Sight readingI know I had to sight read for 2 honor bands. It wasn't too hard. Just relax and remember s.t.a.r.s. S- sharps and flats, T- time sig.,A- articulations, R- rhythms, S- special markings( accidentals and garce notes). It really helps when you only have a few mintues to look at a piece. I was in 4rd of 21 my 7th grade year and 3rd of 24 my 8th grade year. Hope this helps. Also study rhythms and time sigs. that aren't in 4/4 time.
