Those marks above words are accent or tilde marks and are in general terms required to help you to know how to stress and emphasize syllables in Spanish words,
Span¡shD!ct.com has two Reference articles dealing with the meaning and significance of the "Tilde" accent marks that are placed above some of the Spanish letter characters. Here are links to those two articles:
Tilde Accent Marks, and
Kinds (Categories) of Stress (or syllable emphasis)
Our teacher, Paralee Whitmire created these in the hope they would help you to understand how the tilde accent marks affect word pronounciation.
