Hi,
This year, Shabbat of Chanukah will also be Rosh Chodesh, the beginning of the month of Tevet. Therefore we need to read from three Torah scrolls: A portion for Shabbat, a portion for Chanukah, and a portion for Rosh Chodesh.
We follow a basic law of precedence: The event which occurs more frequently is honored first. Therefore we read six aliyot first from the regular Torah reading, then one aliyah from the Rosh Chodesh reading, and then a "maftir" aliyah from the Chanukah reading.
(Code of Jewish Law Orach Chaim 684:3)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
