I have a son who is fully included in first grade at our neighborhood school. Many of our kids are strong visual learners and good readers. My son's K teacher always had something to show them as well as giving a verbal explanation. She would go from center to center and demonstrate each activity when the week's new centers were introduced. For my son, the lists, labels, charts,etc allowed him to be more independent.
Eagerness goes a long way.
