How do I make sight reading interesting and fun to learn?

Why do need to do this, are planning to join the Boston Pop Orchestra?

First off start practising scales at the age of six unless you are a child prodigy I can't see you doing this - someone handing you a score and you breeze right through it the very first time. Having the sheet music in front of you is more like a mnemonic to help you through the dodgy bits you don't know well, but you still have to learn the piece beforehand. Traditional notation is still important to Classical guitar. You haven't learn anything on guitar from tradition notation?
