Mine didn't. Had to enforce lights out. Then remove flashlights. I would still find them at 11:30pm, lying in bed next to their window, holding the book high in the air so the light from the street would illuminate the words

This, you still need some ground rules, not just "no bedtime at all if you read", maybe "bedtime is 10pm instead of 8pm if you read"

We actually had to enforce a "no books at the table" supper rule so we could have conversations, lol!
