To sign 'reading,' hold your non-dominant hand open with the palm facing you and fingers pointing up, representing a page. Form a 'V' handshape with your dominant hand, pointing your index and middle fingers toward your non-dominant palm. Move the 'V' handshape down the palm of your non-dominant hand, as if your eyes are scanning the lines of a text.
Sign 'I', 'love', and then use the 'reading' sign by moving your 'V' hand down your open non-dominant palm, followed by 'before' and 'bed'.
Sign 'you', 'reading', 'good', and 'book'. Remember to raise your eyebrows throughout the sentence to indicate that you are asking a yes/no question.
Point to your side for 'she', then perform the sign for 'reading', and finish with the sign for 'magazine'.

Yes! While the sign originally mimics reading a physical piece of paper or a book, it is universally used for the concept of reading, regardless of whether the text is on paper or a digital screen.
Often, a single downward movement of the 'V' handshape means 'read,' while repeating the downward movement implies the ongoing, continuous action of 'reading.'
Yes, you should always use your non-dominant hand as the stationary 'page' and your dominant hand as the 'eyes' doing the reading motion.
