Sight-Reading Chords

My first try sight-reading everything from top to bottom was frustrating. I found myself making eye movement choices as I read. I've found that the most efficient way is to read high chords down/up and low chords top/down. By doing this, I can keep my eyes between the two staffs, in a more central position. If I have discipline and if I can be consistent, I believe this is more effective method (at least for now...).
Try it with Hymns. They are simple enough that one can have more awareness of the eye movements.
