Normally, students are required to having separate spelling and vocabulary words. However, I believe it is more beneficial for students in the long run to know not only how to spell a word but also know its meaning. Teaching students the prefixes and suffixes of words will greatly increase the student's vocabulary. Knowing prefix and suffix meanings also helps students to see and use context and etymological clues, allowing them to make educated guesses about the meaning of unfamiliar words.
