It means playing through a piece the first time you've seen it.

Get a grip. Someones already told them. just cause your to lazy to look through all the posts is no reason to get pissed at us.
Sight-reading means exactly that. To look at a piece of music with minimal study and be able to play it. It ain't that hard to figure out.
