Compare it with distance-time graphs or velocity-time graphs.

Acceleration-time graphs display the derivative of a velocity-time graph and the double derivative of a distance-time graph (with respect to time, of course)
The value of an acceleration time graph will give you the gradient of the velocity-time graph at that point in time, and the change in gradient of the distance time graph.

Area under the curve between two times = change in velocity between those times. Slope = rate of change of acceleration.
Area under a velocity time curve = change in distance in a particular direction between those two times. Slope of a velocity time curve = acceleration.
Best of luck
