I agree with Bennet wholeheartedly. Think the name of the note as you move along in real music. That way you don't lock in to a specific fingering for a certain note, thus enabling you to chose different fingerings for different situations.


Now the reading part (as far as I am concerned) has a lot to do with becoming familiar with "patterns." As you practice Baermann scales Book III, you begin to internalize larger chunks of the various scales and scale like patterns. Therefore, when you "sight-read" a brand new piece of music you will see an old familiar Eb arpeggio (for example) and just play that in one fell swoop.


The same goes for rhythmic patterns.


The greater variety of the above that you internalize makes you a better reader.


And then there is the reality that as you go through music in your career, much will become stuff that you've already seen and learned (or can re-learn again pretty fast). For example, back in high school, there was a regional competition where the sight reading I was given happened to be a Rose etude I had done multiple times before.
