aisle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'long passage' is the definition.
'aisle' can be an answer for 'passage' (aisle can mean a path or passageway). I'm not certain of the 'long' bit.

'i will read out' is the wordplay.
'i will' becomes 'I'll' (abbreviation).
'read out' shows a homophone (sound like).
'ill' is a homophone of 'AISLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aisle that I've seen before include "Passageway between seating areas" , "channel" , "Passage between pews" , "Passageway in church as for bride" , "Corridor" .)
