Reading assembly language is about having the computer in your head, just like regular programming. You read and execute the instructions just like any other language, just the operations are that much smaller and less abstract. Each instruction is a 'function call'; just like any low level language you leverage abstraction to build up these operations into greater pieces of execution knowledge using macros and functions in logical ways to get the outcome.
It's not magic. The best way to learn assembly is to program in it. I learned on the Gameboy by getting a job and programming 2 games in it. Fun as hell, especially when the machine is small enough to really fit in your head and clock cycles count at 4Mhz.
