Scope the output before and after each read command. Take note the second and any additional outputs need to append to your output file, by using '>>'.
Code:
(
ls anyfile
) 2>./output
read -p input:
(
echo reply=$REPLY
) 2>>./output

NAME
tee - read from standard input and write to standard output and files SYNOPSIS
tee [OPTION]... [FILE]... DESCRIPTION
Copy standard input to each FILE, and also to standard output. -a, --append append to the given FILEs, do not overwrite -i, --ignore-interrupts ignore interrupt signals -p diagnose errors writing to non pipes --output-error[=MODE] set behavior on write error. See MODE below --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit MODE determines behavior with write errors on the outputs: 'warn' diagnose errors writing to any output 'warn-nopipe' diagnose errors writing to any output not a pipe 'exit' exit on error writing to any output 'exit-nopipe' exit on error writing to any output not a pipe The default MODE for the -p option is 'warn-nopipe'. The default operation when --output-error is not specified, is to exit immediately on error writing to a pipe, and diagnose errors writing to non pipe outputs. AUTHOR
