If you mean why are they considered the 3 R's when only one of them starts with an R, then this is because they all start with the R sound if you pronounce arithmetic as 'rithmetic.
Or if you mean what are they then heres the definitions:
Reading: to look at carefully so as to understand the meaning of (something written, printed, etc.)
Writing: to trace or form (characters, letters, words, etc.) on the surface of some material, as with a pen, pencil, or other instrument or means; inscribe
Arithmetic: the method or process of computation with figures: the most elementary branch of mathematics.
I hope this helps!!! =)
