Here is an article written by one of my former students and his colleague about how to sight read jazz. There have been some comments about how it’s “not quite so easy” on guitar – and that is true. However, the article is still valuable for many players and I recommend you read it and adopt the practices when you can.
Congratulations Forrest!
