Check this out. This is an awesome book explaining basic carpentry hand tools from a master carpenter turned writer. Also get an industrial supply catalog like Grainger and keep it in the bathroom to help learn technical jargon.
Tools of the Trade. https://www.amazon.com/Tools-Trade-Art-Craft-Carpentry/dp/0811812731. Don't know if there's a large print but I think he would enjoy this book.
For me, I want to buy my own tools. Maybe not the case for everyone though. If someone were to read my mind though, they would buy me a 24" Crick level. It is wood instead of metal like Stabila. Typically masons use wood levels and carpenters use metal. I do both and prefer wood, plus they have an old school quality look and feel to them.

For a non tool idea there is a cool book that I go back and read every once and a while. It's called Tools of the Trade.
