WHAT DOES THE THREE RS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

The three Rs

The three Rs refers to the foundations of a basic skills-orientated education program within schools: reading, writing and arithmetic. It appears in print as a space-filler in "The Lady's Magazine" for 1818, although it is widely quoted as arising from a phrase coined in a toast given by Sir William Curtis MP in around 1825. Since its original creation, many others have used the term to describe other trifecta.
