Sight Reading

As someone who is working on becoming a better sight reader (I'm ok, but when I get to fast licks my brain goes fizzle), and I actually learned some new tricks yesterday from my teacher - read the pattern, not the notes. For example, you can think of each different measure like a chord with some passing tones (that was news to me, I never even thought of it like that).

For those of you who are monster sight readers, and can read anything put in front of you, are there any other ways you read the music that's in front of you other than note by note? Just curious how everyone else does it.
