D688 Foundations of Literacy Through Literature (EDUC 2257, 3 CUs in the September 2026 WGU catalog) is the literature course of the elementary literacy block: term 6 of the B.A. Elementary Education and its Educational Studies counterpart, term 7 in the four special education versions, beside D689. Varied, age-appropriate literary works inside the science of reading: genres, vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking, with culture integrated into literacy instruction. Coursework Ninja completes D688 done-for-you, fixed quote in writing first. From $99. Independent of WGU.
Next question: how does D689 turn literacy assessment data into targeted interventions?
Per WGU's published description, D688 focuses on the exploration and utilization of literature to foster growth in the skills and concepts necessary for reading. The course delves into the role of varied and age-appropriate literary works in the science of reading to develop reading, writing, speaking, and listening abilities. Students examine a broad range of genres to understand how different texts can be used to enhance vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking, integrating literature into meaningful instruction while cultivating a deep appreciation for reading itself, with interactive and creative teaching strategies, culture integrated into literacy instruction, and an inclusive environment that respects and celebrates different perspectives through quality text.
Six catalog tables carry D688. The B.A. Elementary Education and the B.A. Educational Studies in Elementary Education schedule it in term 6, beside the D689 assessment course; the four special education versions place it in term 7. The M.A. Teaching tracks carry a graduate twin with the identical name, D696 (EDUC 5087, 2 CUs), with the catalog printing the same description text for both versions, so the code on your program plan decides which one you owe. Message us the code and where you stand, and we quote a flat price in writing.
Every full package includes the written 6-month guarantee: we finish the remaining CUs under the agreed plan, or you do not pay. Packages: Bachelor's $3,000 · Master's $3,500 · both $5,500 · single assessments from $99.
Coverage
WGU does not publish assessment formats in the catalog. Student communities report performance assessment tasks (PAs) for the literacy foundations courses, consistent with the rest of the block. We confirm the current format for your catalog year at intake, and the fixed quote covers whichever assessment D688 carries.
The description's text base: varied and age-appropriate literary works across a broad range of genres, each analyzed for how it teaches reading. One-genre lesson plans miss the scored breadth.
The description's skill trio: different texts used to enhance vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking, all inside the science of reading. The task is instruction built from literature, not book reports.
The description names the integration explicitly, and pairs it with cultivating a deep appreciation for reading through interactive and creative teaching strategies. Engagement is scored content here, not decoration.
The description's inclusion row: culture integrated into literacy instruction, with an inclusive environment that respects and celebrates different perspectives through quality text. Skipping this row is the most common first-submission gap.
D688 alone is a single from $99. On a remaining list in any of the six elementary tables it folds into the flat bachelor's package at $3,000, every remaining academic CU under the written 6-month finish guarantee.

Bottlenecks
D688 looks like the easy course of the literacy block, which is exactly how it ends up scheduled last and revision-looping beside D689. These are the stalls we take over most often.

They share a term in all six tables, but they grade opposite skills. D688 is the literature course: genres, vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking built from varied texts, with culture and inclusion scored. D689 is the data course: administering and interpreting literacy assessments across the three MTSS tiers and designing the interventions the data names. The B.A. Elementary Education schedules both in term 6.
Yes. The M.A. Teaching elementary education track carries Foundations of Literacy Through Literature as D696 (EDUC 5087, 2 CUs) in term 3, and the special education track in term 5: the same course name at a different code and CU count, with the catalog printing the same description text for both versions. D696 now has its own completion page under /courses. The code on your program plan decides which one you owe.
One course starts at $99, with the exact figure fixed in writing once we know where you stand. If D688 is one row on a longer remaining bachelor's list, the bachelor's package is $3,000 flat with the written 6-month finish guarantee covering every academic course on the plan.
