I think an even more beneficial approach to sightreading is to (IME):
1. Set an -anchor point- at either top or bottom cleff and keep coming back to it. Setting a focal point helps prevent confusion.
2. Keeping the eyes inbetween the cleffs and using peripheral vision to read without having to move eyes up and down. Just mentally -focusing- on one cleff more than the other if and when needed. Needing to move the eyes up and down is a HUGE handicap.

Amazing lesson. I agree that most people are either predominantly horizontal readers or vertical readers.
I'm a beginner and i find that i am usually more horizontal in reading.
Take away: analyse the piece first. Incorporate both types.

Very difficult the vertical one. I have a Gershwin songbook that scares me to death-. Thanks for pointing out this issue.
