One hand starts as an open "B" handshape in front of the mouth with the palm facing the signer and the tips of the fingers extending just past the corner of the mouth. The hand is then drawn over the mouth and the fingers closed forming an "A" handshape.
Sign 'I', then 'feel', and finish with 'better' by starting the open 'B' handshape at your mouth and pulling it to the side into an 'A' handshape. Add a positive, relieved facial expression to show your improvement.
Set up the two books in your signing space by pointing to different sides. Point to the first, sign 'better' using the sweeping motion across your mouth into the 'A' handshape, and then point to the second.
Sign 'you', 'sign', and 'better'. When signing 'better', ensure your hand smoothly transitions from the open 'B' to the 'A' handshape as it moves. Remember to raise your eyebrows at the end to indicate a yes/no question.

'Good' moves from the chin straight down to your opposite hand. 'Better' starts at the mouth and pulls to the side, closing into an 'A' handshape. 'Best' uses the same motion as 'better' but moves much higher up to show the highest level.
You should always use your dominant hand for this sign. If you are right-handed, use your right hand to start at your mouth and pull it toward the right side. If you are left-handed, use your left hand and pull toward the left.
Your hand does not need to physically touch your lips or face. It should hover just in front of your mouth with the fingertips extending past the corner before you draw it away into the 'A' handshape.
