Accio is the Summoning Charm used to summon objects toward the caster. The spell is used throughout the series, such as when Harry summons his broom or Firebolt. 'Summono', 'Acquiro', and 'Reacho' are not real spells - Accio is the correct incantation derived from Latin meaning 'I summon'.

Reparo is the Mending Charm used to repair broken objects. Hermione uses this spell extensively, including on Harry's glasses. 'Repairio', 'Repardus', and 'Repairius' are incorrect variations - Reparo is the correct spell word. It's a fundamental utility spell taught at Hogwarts.
