Reading, Writing and Arithmetic as almost everyone has stated. As Smarty explained, it is the fact that you hear the 'R' sound so clearly that this is referred to as the three R's.

Writing
Arithmatic
They obviously don't all start with 'R' but the latter is pronounved rithmatic in the saying - hence they call it the 3 R's to make it easy to remember
