third-grader

Young multiplication learner

A third-grader is a student in the third grade, typically eight or nine years old in the American school system.

The term serves as shorthand for developmental stage: The book is written at a third-grader's reading level.

Like other grade-based compounds, it can be mildly disparaging when applied to adults: He argues like a third-grader.
