How many readers do you select for a church ceremony

I have the together for life book, but its unclear. It looks like we select a reader for:
Old Testament Reading and the New Testament Reading
But then I am confused about whether we select a reader to read/sing the Responsorial Psalm and the Prayer of the Faithful.
Any help would be greatly appreciated since I havent selected the readers yet and I need to get on that. TIA

Our priest told us we select one old testament, one new testament, and the prayer of the faithful. Three alltogether.

we are having a ceremony, we were told we could 2 readers if we don't include the prayer of the faithful, which is optional, or 3 if we include it. I was just telling FH how not clear that together for life book is!!

We are having 3 readers- old testament, new testament and prayer of the faithful. We also used 2 other family members to bring up the gifts so they would be included also.

I thought I was the only one who couldnt understand that book?
So I guess you dont need a reader for the Responsial Psalm?
