You would still have to learn to read music to sing any part in the choir!!
There are a number of sight singing method books available to help anyone learn to read music.
Do you remember the Sound of Music? The children learned how to sing using solfege syllables: do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti-do. That would give you a start. Please speak with your choir director and he/she will get you started in the right direction.

Just tune in to what all the other altoes are singing and sing along with them looking at the music. Eventually you'll get it and you won't have to rely on the other altoes. That's what I always do.

I think it's great you're going to do this! I had the same problem. Someone suggested to me to get private lessons. I got involved with other things and didn't take up the tip but now I wish I hadn't. You can find a Private Lessons teacher in the news papers and sometimes at your own school! Maybe there is someone in your church choir who is willing to teach you? Good Luck
