A BIT MORE
1. Rav: We read it the Shabbos before Rosh Chodesh in order not to lessen the amount of time that the money-changers are present to assist with the donations of the Shekalim. Shmuel: We read it after Rosh Chodesh, since the money-changers anyway do not begin to provide their services on a Friday, but rather on the Sunday after Shabbos.
2. Rav: We read Parshas Zachor the Shabbos before Purim in order to remember our obligation regarding Amalek prior to observing the Mitzvos of Purim (which represent our victory over the descendants of Amalek). Shmuel: We read it after Purim, since there are people in walled cities who celebrate Purim on Shabbos (see Tashbatz 3:298 regarding how they celebrate).
3. The Four Parshiyos are (in order): Shekalim, Zachor, Parah, and ha'Chodesh. The Gemara discusses at length when they fall out each year.
4. Some say that only these Parshiyos are read, and others say that they are read in addition to the regular Torah readings (this is our custom today).
5. The Mishnah also speaks about the Torah readings for Chanukah, Purim, and the Ma'amados.
