Practice Reading:
Yolanda was so jazzed for the day that she did a jig. She and her best friend, Yazmine, were going to have a gal’s day on the town, no husbands, no children, for the first time in years. They wanted to go to the yarn store, do a yin yoga class, soak in the jacuzzi after, and finally see a chick flick, one that both their husbands thought was a total yawn. After breakfast, Yolanda, kissed her kids goodbye, jumped in her jeep, and jaunted off to pick up Yazmine.
