Thread specs are typically read by identifying the thread size, pitch, and type. For example, in a metric thread spec like M10x1.5, "M10" indicates a 10mm diameter, and "1.5" represents the pitch in millimeters. For imperial threads, a spec like 1/4"-20 UNC indicates a 1/4 inch diameter with 20 threads per inch, and UNC specifies the thread type (Unified National Coarse).
