Useful tips from the United States Council of Catholic Bishops (USCCB): The Lector at Mass
Other useful links:

• Lectorworks.org  At this site you will find:
  * A series of thoughts about the lectionary readings of the day, as an oral proclamation within the church’s public prayer, and how the writer would want to have them declared and received effectively.
  * Three elements are always identified: the climax of the reading; the contact point of the reading with our assembly; one special challenge the reading poses for the seasoned lector
  * At the end of each week’s readings, a brief reflection on the transition from the Table of the Word to the Table of the Eucharist
• Lectorprep.org  Lector’s Notes try to serve the Church by helping lectors prepare to proclaim the Scriptures in our Sunday assemblies. For each day’s first and second readings (and occasionally for the gospel), the Notes give the historical and theological background, plus suggestions on oral interpretation.
• lccc.wikidot.com  Use the links in the box on the right to hear (Audio) and read (Text) today’s scripture. You can also watch (Video) a reflection on today’s scripture.
