Went is decodable, w-e-n-t, but it is the past of go, which looks nothing like it. Make a little travel diary: each page says “We went to…” with a drawing. Read it together after every outing.

Lay out place pictures: zoo, park, shop, beach. Your child picks two and tells a mini story: “First we went to the shop. Then we went to the beach.” Write the sentences together.
