Hi Clare, welcome to the forums 
The best way to get better at sight reading is to sight read! Just grab a bit of music, check the key/time signatures. have a look through for any accidentals, then choose an appropriate tempo and go for it. If you do one piece a day you'd be surprised at how quickly you improve! Also, if you search 'Sight reading' in the appropriate forum for your instrument you'll probably find lots more advice more specific to your instrument

Many people do not spend enough time looking at the piece before they attempt it, they go at it like a bull in a china shop! So Dont rush !!
For practice try pieces about 2 grades below what you are studying for.

Has anybody come across this site or used it? Darn, another money-spinning opportunity foiled!!
It looks very useful!

My examiner actually reminded me that I could play a few bars to try them out before starting the sight reading piece.
