Two methods of reading Dice are given in "Throwing the Bones: How to Foretell the Future with Bones, Shells, and Nuts" by catherine yronwode" -- the "Dice Numerology" system, which totals the spots and reduces the number by adding digits together as in regular numerology, and the "British Dice Reading" system of three dice.
