Uhh… Sorry to break it to you but sight reading isn’t something that you can magically acquire in 3 days :[.

Lean against the wall on your left foot and put your big toe of your other foot into your mouth and say ummmm repeatedly.

I doubt you can do that in three weeks, let alone three days.

Hmm… maybe extend your time frame to three months. Or three years maybe?

how read music
I’d think the quickest way to learn would be to use songs you know well. That way you’ll always hear when you hit a wrong note. One boring example: play the first four measures of “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” in every key. (If you go to tinyurl.com/yebqhwd and install the free Scorch software, you can see the music, and you can use the transpose function to change the key.)
Three days is just too short a time, though.
In case you don’t get my email, here’s how far I’ve gotten with River Flows in You. I’ve switched to the Courier font and stopped using dashes. I think it’s easier to read this way. Try copying the notes below and pasting them into a document using Courier. The numbers (1-12 so far) are only measure numbers, to help me keep from getting lost. Let me know if you want me to finish.
