Read something aloud or acted it out (7)
I believe the answer is:
dictate
'read' is the definition.
(dictating is a kind of reading)
'acted it out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'acted'+'it'='actedit'
'actedit' with letters rearranged gives 'DICTATE'.
'something aloud or' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dictate that I've seen before include "say" , "Command" , "speak (words to be taken down)" , "Issue commands" , "Lay down the law" .)
