We are using Matin Latin I for the first time this year and so far think it's wonderful. It's setup is similar to Wheelock's, in that it presents the English grammar first then the Latin. Canon Press has sample pages on their websites of both student and teacher's editions, so you can take a peek at their format.
Incidently, I've had no prior Latin experience and this program has been very straightforward so far. We're using ecclesiastical pronounciation first, then we'll switch over to restored classical in high school.

Let me know if you have any specific questions about ML I's
format, and I'd be happy to help.
