This is a surprisingly good article on how to sight read music found on wikiHow: http://www.wikihow.com/Sight-Read-Music
The suggestions they give are what any teacher would tell you. It would be a great idea to print out the tips and put them in your music folder.
"Sight reading music is one of the most important things you need to know to be any good at your instrument of choice, only beaten by the importance of learning how to actually play the instrument itself. Almost every audition you will ever take part in will include some form or another of sight reading. Most of this sight reading, though, is not really sight reading in its purest form- looking at the music for the very first time while you are playing or singing the notes.(Sightsinging music requires quite a different set of skills in addition to being able to note read). For the vast majority of required sight reading, you are allowed to look at the music for an amount of time between thirty seconds and ten minutes."
