The American National Archives has an interactive tutorial on reading old handwriting.

"Here you will find 10 documents supplied in order of difficulty. Each document is offered alongside: an historical background;a glossary; notes on the palaeography; a sample alphabet taken from each document and a full transcript."

And then there's the ducking-stool translation game!
