When a ball is let free fall from the top of building. What is the acceleration and what its sign?

Academic Physics NCERT Class 9

When we allow a ball to fall freely from the building, the acceleration is $g=9.8\ m/s^2$.

And the sign of acceleration is $( +ve)$ because the velocity of the ball increases.
