How do I get better at sight reading piano music? I have a good understanding of chords, key signatures, rhythms, and pretty much any music theory I need to know to perform a piece, and I have good coordination and finger dexterity. But it takes me a really long time to learn a new piece, and I have to learn it in small chunks, but once I learn a piece, I don't need to look at the sheet music ever again, and I can play it by memory. I used to take piano lessons when I was younger, and I remember that I could just look at a piece (albeit easier literature than what I play now) and just play through it, but I couldn't play jack shit from memory. What am I doing wrong?

you have to look at videos, books, online articles etc. then just practice. you havent practiced enough atleast an hour a day for months
>>
you get good at sight reading by sight reading, so play easy songs you can sight read and work up to more challenging pieces

When I practice I am generally practicing for at least an hour, usually more.

Maybe don't bother learning to sight read and learn to play by ear instead? Maybe you'll always be slow at it, so focus on your strengths.
