How do I practice reading jazz chords off of a lead sheet? How would I quickly learn to sight read piano music?

Q. I'm a student in the 11th grade. I attend an art school, I am currently studying piano with jazz chords and progressions. I would like to join the jazz band but I need to learn to read a bit quicker. Any ideas?

A. READ --READ--READ--as much music as you can
try to play with other musicians
STUDY-STUDY-STUDY- theory and chord voicings

Original Question

How do I create a good, piano chord sequence for the song I composed and wrote lyrics too?
Q. I wrote on piece on piano and then after re-adjusted it and put lyrics to it. Now I have an awesome song, but the lyrics follow the song notes exactly, which makes it odd to sing too. The notes should be the singer's notes, and I'd like to know how to create chords to play in the piano's right hand.

Normally people work the other way around, but I'm completely bonkers. Any tips on how to construct a chord sequence based on a series of notes (mostly in C Major)?

A. You can make this as easy or as difficult as you want, but it depends a lot on how much music theory you know or how you good you are at translating your ideas on piano.

If you somehow feel or know how the chords should sound, you could just look for these on the piano. If you're going to take a more theoretical, take some chords that are derived from the C major scale. When you use notes outside that scale or play another scale, you should probably use a chord that's derived from that scale. And there's a big chance that could be the C minor scale.

There's not much I could do, because it depends a lot on the style, which notes you use and how, how you use the notes outside the C major scale, ... I don't even know which key it's in.
