One of my college instructors once told me that getting really proficient at sight reading means seeing it in a series of familiar patterns. He was right! It becomes better with repetition, and part of that is knowing your key center in all 12 keys so you just don’t have to think about it. The longer you spend having to think before reacting, the more behind you are, and time doesn’t wait for any of us.
I like what @Kehaulani said. And I agree with @flugelgirl about recognizing familiar patterns, too.

It's the difference between spelling words out phonetically and recognizing whole words as a single symbol, or even entire phrases. Eventually you start to think in those composite symbols, just like we all know what things like IIRC, LOL, IANAL, OMG etc. which is pretty much when you can apply the fakebooks effectively.
