This blog post lists LOTS of online resources, including tutorials, example alphabets and so on. The National Archives tutorial would be my top recommendation. https://manyheadedmonster.com/2018/03/01/free-online-palaeography-resources/

If you would prefer something physical, then I learnt to read secretary hand with Hilary Marshall's: Palaeography for Family and Local Historians (Phillimore, 2010). 3/3

You can buy it in The National Archives' shop https://shop.nationalarchives.gov.uk/products/palaeography-for-fh

Thank you for providing this info. I'm starting a Zooniverse project and this practice material will help me get started. I was going to pass on the project - it looked impossible.

You're welcome! Yes, it really is just a case of practice to get your eye in, and it's very satisfying when you can start puzzling lines out. Good luck 📜📜📜
