Reading sheet music

[Engel]

Until recently my knowledge of reading sheet music was on a highschool level "every good boy does fine" and all that bs.  Since I bought the piano I have been practicing and practicing to get better at reading and playing to sheet music.  I have all the keys memorized and can play slowly to simple melodies.  I've been learning so much recently and it gets easier and easier every day.  Now I have started working on major and minor scales and crossing my fingers over.  I'm just curious if any of you piano players out there that can play along to sheet music have any advice besides the most obvious and best thing I could do, "practice".

Count the smallest subdivision of rhythms you can in your head(this is usually 16th notes for most people), and learn to recognize intervals and chords.

For me personally it helps to analyze the chord progression and themes, in a  lead sheet type of way, that way it gives me more of chance to do my own improvisations least in the bass...
Plus it will help if your learning weird arrangements to jump from different keys etc...
especially in classical peices, every now and then you'll run into A Dominant chords dominant
and youre like wtf, where did that come from? especially if your sight reading

I can do level one stuff all day, level 2 not so much.  I find it helps me if I run through the bass staff first then go back and do the treble with it.
