In order for a voltmeter to measure a device's voltage, it must be connected in parallel to that device . This is necessary because objects in parallel experience the same potential difference. n ammeter measures the electric current in a circuit. ... This is necessary because objects in series experience the same current.

This is because, in a series circuit the current (I) always remains the same while the potential difference differs.Whereas, in parallel circuit the current (I) gets divided in the ratio of it's resistors while the potential difference remains the same. So, to get a appropriate reading, the ammeter is connected in series while the voltmeter is connected in parallel.
Hope,it helped you.
