D696 Foundations of Literacy Through Literature (EDUC 5087, 2 CUs in the September 2026 WGU catalog) is the literature course of the graduate literacy block: term 3 of the M.A. Teaching elementary education track and term 5 of the special education track. Per the catalog, varied and age-appropriate literary works inside the science of reading, a broad range of genres, and culture integrated into literacy instruction through quality text. The bachelor's programs carry the identical name as D688, so the code on your plan decides. Coursework Ninja completes D696 done-for-you, fixed quote in writing first. From $99. Independent of WGU.
Per WGU's published description, D696 is an enriching course focusing 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 in learners, and students examine a broad range of genres to understand how different texts can be used to enhance vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking.
Two M.A. Teaching tables carry D696. The elementary education track stacks it in term 3 with D677, D676, and D675, the four-course literacy term. The special education track places it in term 5 beside D675 and D697. The description's differentiator is culture: interactive and creative teaching strategies that integrate culture into literacy instruction, with real-world examples for creating an inclusive environment that respects and celebrates different perspectives through quality text. The bachelor's programs carry the same name as D688 (EDUC 2257, 3 CUs) with the identical printed description, so the code on your program plan decides. We quote a flat price in writing once we know where you stand.
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 graduate literacy courses, consistent with the course type. We confirm the current format for your catalog year at intake, and the fixed quote covers whichever assessment D696 carries.
The description's mechanics: a broad range of genres examined for how different texts enhance vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking. Scored work treats genre as a teaching decision, each text type building a named skill, not a reading log.
The description asks candidates to successfully integrate literature into meaningful instruction. That is the line between this course and a book club: the text serves a literacy objective inside the science of reading, and the rubric scores the connection.
The curriculum emphasizes interactive and creative teaching strategies to engage learners effectively. Tasks fail when the strategy is a worksheet with a novel attached; engagement has to be designed, not assumed.
The description's signature row: integrating culture into literacy instruction and creating an inclusive environment that respects and celebrates different perspectives through quality text. The rubric reads culture as text-selection criteria and discussion design, not a celebration slogan.
D696 alone is a single from $99. On a remaining list in either M.A. Teaching table it folds into the flat master's package at $3,500, every remaining academic CU under the written 6-month finish guarantee.
