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

'read' is the definition.
(I know that dictate is a type of read)

'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 and' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dictate that I've seen before include "Issue commands" , "Give orders like Stalin" , "say" , "Determine; read out to be taken down" , "Command" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
