The Reading/Writing proficiency is described in the Player's Handbook. It allows a dragon to read and write a modern language it can speak. Each of the dragon languages has a written counterpart. Unless a dragon has a Dexterity score of 13 or better, it cannot make use of pens or brushes for writing on scrolls. Without a high Dexterity, the best a dragon can do is carve runes with its claws. 
Hatchlings can't take this proficiency.
