I am not sure I can even explain my concerns about learning to read music - specifically reading notes - so bear with me

I am clear on where the notes are on each string -at least in the 1st position (1st 5 frets - right?)

When I look at a sheet of music - should I be seeing the note (a "C") or a position (1st fret, 2nd string) or both ?

I find I struggle through the 1st playing and then I move "relatively" because I know where we are going (up or down, x "steps")

This feels as if I am "cheating" because I am not "reading", so much as reacting

What should I be thinking about/practicing ?

Many Thanks
