Tosefta Megillah
[If] the portion of the Shekalim fell [as part of the normal cycle] next to Adar, either before it or after it, we read it [at its normal time] and then we read it a second time [for purposes of Purim], and so two for the second [portion], and so too for the third, and so too for the fourth. And so too for Chanukah (בחנוכה not בפורים). They ask about the halachot of Passover on Passover, and the halachot of Shevuot on Shevuot, and the halachot of Sukkot on Sukkot. In the study hall they ask about the halachot of Passover thirty days before Passover. Rabban Shimon ben Gamaliel says, two weeks.

Tosefta Megillah
On a Rosh Chodesh that falls on Chanukah, we read (Num. 28:11), "And on the first of your months [etc.]." At the place that they leave off [the Torah reading] in the morning service on Shabbat, they begin from that point in the afternoon service. [Where they leave off] in the afternoon service, they begin from that point on Monday, [and from where they leave off] on Monday, they begin from point on Thursday, [and from where they leave off] on Thursday, they begin from that point on the next Shabbat. Rabbi Yehuda says, at the place where they leave off [the Torah reading] in the morning service on Shabbat, they begin from there on the next Shabbat.
