Review Respellings and Accent Marks
Read the paragraphs below. Underline the correct respelling of each bold word.
If you like spending time outdoors (/out do· rz’/, /owt’ doors/) and are good at
following directions (/d¯i rik’ shans/, /di rek’ shenz/), you might like to try (/tre¯/, /tr¯i/) your
e
hand at geocaching. Geocaching is an activity (/ak tiv’ i te¯/, /ack’ tiv ¯i te/) in which
people follow directions to find a small (/smôl/, /smo¯l/) treasure, or cache (pronounced
cash). Some people use a special (/spech’ a¯ l/, /spesh’ el/) device called a Global

e
e
(/co¯m’ pe¯s/, /kum’ pes/) and a map. There are more than 200,000 geocaches currently
hidden (/h¯id’ n/, /hid’ n/) in about 220 countries around the world. The coordinates, or
longitude and latitude, to these (/the¯z/, /the¯z/) geocaches can be found online.
The hidden treasure (/treg’ er/, /trezh’ er/) is usually something small, like a toy, a
book (/bu· k/, /bu¯k/) , a CD, or some unusual coins. Many (/men’e¯/, /män’ e¯/) geocaches
ee
also include a logbook. Each (/ech/, /e¯ch/) person to find the cache can record
(/rek’ erd/, /ri ko· rd’/) his or her name and any comments (/kôm’ entz/, /ku¯m’ entz/)
e
about finding the cache. If you take (/tak/, /ta¯ k/) the cache, you must leave a new
treasure in its place so that there will be something (/sum’ thing/, /süm’ thing/) for the
next person to find. People like the thrill of seeking out something hidden and the idea
(/i de’ e/, /¯i de¯’ e/ of connecting with dozens (/duz’ enz/, /düz’ e¯nz/) of othere
geocachers they might (/m¯it/, /mite/) never actually meet. Would (/wu¯d/, /wu· d/) you

like to be a modern-day treasure hunter too?
