I have been homeschooling my 3 kids (13, 9, & 8) finishing our
second year. I also looked into Sonlight and found it overwhelming
and confusing. When I asked a Sonlight rep at a conference she
became flustered trying to explain it to me. We have used MFW the
whole time because I was very anxious about homeschooling and
wanted something very easy and fast (no set-up time for me) to
implement. MFW has been great. The manual has the entire year
for grade levels 2-8 laid out - day-by-day. It has which books,
what pages to read, scripts with additional things to say, supplies
needed (mostly household items) and encompassed every subject.
It is History (mostly thru missionaries) based with real books
supplementing. My understanding of Sonlight it is real
books/literature based with other subjects being covered thru the
books. I've been very please with MFW - it has made the journey
so pleasant for me and the kids. They do get bored with some of it
but it's really how much you put into it - they do have alot of
project and hands on ideas. And it's been much better than them
and me being overwhelmed and frustrated with school.
