Is sight-reading something which improves with experience?
Sight reading DOES improve with experience. But there are other ways to make it sound better when you sight read. First look at the key signature and time signature. Make sure you know what fingerings are flat or sharp, if any. You’ll also want to look at the style its played, and the tempo. If it says legato, it means long and connected. There are other terms which mean different things too. Look for any rhythms that look hard to play or weird, and count them out so you know how it sounds. Also look at the articulation. These are some ways, I hope, will improve your sight reading. Don’t forget to look at the dynamics too 🙂 Glad to know there are kids involved in the music department.
