I'm not sure there IS a "technique" for improving sight-reading other than simply reading lots and lots and LOTS of music.
I know some great pianists with far better technique than mine, yet they couldn't sight-read their way out of a wet paper bag.
I, on the other hand, actually sight-read my way through some Bach and Mozart for an exam and actually got marks in the low 90's from the adjudicator who didn't realize I was bullsh**ing my way through the music.
I've found that my experience as a rehearsal pianist has probably given me an inordinate amount of help in sight-reading.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
