What kind of sentences do you recommend Rachel use: simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex?

I would recommend Rachel use simple sentences to effectively communicate her message to her younger brother. Simple sentences are clear, concise, and easy to understand, making it easier for a fourth grader to follow the instructions.
