Almost 6 year old being rude and refusing to listen

Hi everyone .
So, I’ve got a 5 year old son who will be 6 next Month . His behaviour can be very challenging and I’m starting to worry . He flat out refuses to go to bed most nights . Refuses to listen to me most often. He has periods of being good but often is rude and will deliberately act sulky and moody for no real reason . Today he refused to listen to a story before bed so I read it to his sister and told him he doesn’t have to listen but he can’t ruin it for his sister. He ran off shouting I hate everything .. your a poohead etc . This happens every night time. He then will refuse to go to bed and runs around the house laughing etc. How do I approach this behaviour . We have a reward chart but it’s not working. I’m always fair but firm
... at a loss:( also not nice for my daughter to see all the time . Hate if she started copying too :/
Any tips ?

Can I ask, when he runs off and calls you a poo head, what is the reaction to his action?
Is this behaviour a new thing? x

Do you chase him when he runs off? Chasing him diverts attention from his sister who deserves extra attention.
